Lyrics
Belladonna burned limb to limb
Belladonna, a toxic plant, burned completely.
Thistle thorns pinned to her hips
Thistle thorns were attached to her hips.
She turned to ashes
She transformed into ashes.
They coughed up black
Others, witnessing her demise, experienced a dark reaction.
Can't kill a witch with her pride intact
It's challenging to defeat a witch without affecting her pride.
Oh no
An expression of concern or surprise.
The Devil's daughter
Referring to a woman associated with the Devil.
Can take the piss
She can mock or make fun of others.
Jus primae noctis

He said, “let's just forget
A suggestion to forget the pain of the past.
cll the pain that is the past”
Describing the past as painful.
The Devil's mark is scored in red
The mark of association with the Devil is depicted in red.
The scarlet letter lies on her back
A symbolic scarlet letter on her back, referencing shame or stigma.
Rose from the ashes
She rises again, metaphorically from the ashes.
They called her name
Her name is called out, acknowledging her resilience.
She is the baroness
She holds a position of authority, despite societal judgment.
Patron saint of shame
Recognized as a figure embodying shame.
Didn't wish for martyrdom,
She did not desire martyrdom or blame.
Didn't wish for blame
Rejecting responsibility for the negative perception cast upon her.
cll the embers, are like flags in the flame
The embers, reminiscent of flags in the flame, symbolize enduring defiance.
