they​ ​called​ ​her​ ​evil
hung​ ​her​ ​from​ ​a​ ​tree
mistook​ ​her​ ​medicine
for​ ​wicked​ ​sorcery

wiley​ ​old​ ​woman
with​ ​no​ ​family​ ​of​ ​her​ ​own
to​ ​h-ll​ ​with​ ​christians
may​ ​they​ ​reap​ ​what​ ​they​ ​have​ ​sown

for​ ​weeks​ ​her​ ​captors​ ​held​ ​her
in​ ​a​ ​dungeon​ ​dark​ ​and​ ​damp
her​ ​body​ ​broken
thumbs​ ​pulverized​ ​by​ ​clamps

yet​ ​her​ ​mind​ ​was​ ​strong
for​ ​no​ ​wrong​ ​had​ ​she​ ​done
she​ ​feared​ ​not​ ​life​ ​or​ ​death
her​ ​purpose​ ​became​ ​one:

reject​ ​the​ ​teachings​ ​of​ ​a​ ​greedy​ ​perverse​ ​church
spreading​ ​subordinance​ ​and​ ​lies​ ​of​ ​virgin​ ​birth
she’d​ ​taught​ ​the​ ​secrets​ ​of​ ​the​ ​forests,​ ​seas​ ​and​ ​skies
the​ ​cycles​ ​of​ ​the​ ​moon
and​ ​all​ ​the​ ​earth​ ​provides

captured​ ​when​ ​her​ ​heathen​ ​home​ ​was​ ​raided
turned​ ​in​ ​by​ ​the​ ​villagers​ ​she’d​ ​aided
and​ ​when​ ​they​ ​took​ ​her
to​ ​the​ ​oak​ ​tree​ ​where​ ​she’d​ ​hang
she​ ​raised​ ​her​ ​bloodied​ ​head
in​ ​crystal​ ​voice​ ​she​ ​sang

“dīs​ ​pater,​ ​spirits​ ​of​ ​the​ ​dead
i​ ​fear​ ​not​ ​what​ ​awaits
for​ ​just’s​ ​the​ ​life​ ​i’ve​ ​lead
may​ ​your​ ​guilt
live​ ​deep​ ​within​ ​your​ ​blood
may​ ​stress​ ​and​ ​cancers​ ​blossom
as​ ​a​ ​flower​ ​buds!”

now​ ​we​ ​wonder​ ​where​ ​the​ ​worlds​ ​magic​ ​has​ ​gone
we​ ​search​ ​the​ ​continents​ ​for​ ​some​ ​truth​ ​to​ ​hang​ ​on
but​ ​i​ ​know​ ​we’ve​ ​lost​ ​much​ ​knowledge​ ​once​ ​possessed
burned,​ ​broken,​ ​hung
by​ ​christ​ ​our​ ​lord​ ​suppressed
burned,​ ​broken,​ ​hung
let​ ​jesus’​ ​will​ ​be​ ​done
