Tells the tale of the Great Scottish Witch Hunt of 1597

lyrics

Verse 1:
Detestable slaves of th' Devill,
The witches, and enchanters,
Dominance of lust, your power,
Your craft, plagues our nation.

Pre-chorus:
I, am, your salvation.
You, speak, for man not God.

Chorus:
Your judgement day has come.
This is a trial by water.
Aqua veite decides.
Your sin of regicide.
Two hundred souls lost,
Through a trial by water.
Death divines souls to be saved,
From those to face the pyre.

Verse 2:
Torture, dragged out lies.
I am no Devill's consort.
No demon's mark I bare.
I beseech your Lord to spare.

Pre-chorus:
I, am, your salvation.
You, speak, for man not God.

Chorus:
My judgement day has come.
My end is a trial by water.
My soul, Lord Christ will guide.
No sin in my heart resides.
Two hundred souls lost,
Through a trial by water.
Death divines souls to be saved,
From those to face the pyre.

Bridge:
The river knows,
Death redeems your soul.
Rejected, damns you to fire.
The river knows,
Death is innocence.
Doomed to die, burn, or, drown.

Bridge 2:
Fearful abundance in nation,
By the grace of God,
King James will reign.

[ Solo ]

Pre-chorus:
I, am, your salvation.
You, speak, for man not God.

Chorus:
Your judgement day has come.
Your life ends through trial by water.
Proven, no witch you are.
Let heaven claim your soul.
Two hundred souls lost,
Through a trial by water.
Two hundred souls lost,
Through a trial by water.
Death divines souls to be saved,
From those to face the pyre.

Bridge 3:
Aitkin's lies, will see her burn
The Great Witch will end.
Burned at the stake, her lies will die.
200 lost in vain.

The river knows,
Death redeems your soul.
Rejected, damns you to fire.
The river knows,
Death is innocence.
Doomed to die, burn, or, drown.
