Witch Hunt
Witch Hunt: Unmasking Society's Shadows
Lyrics
The night is black
The night is dark and ominous.
Without a moon
No moonlight is present, adding to the darkness and uncertainty.
The air is thick and still
The atmosphere is dense and motionless.
The vigilantes gather on
Vigilantes assemble.
The lonely torchlit hill
Gathering on a desolate hill, illuminated by torches.
Features distorted in the flickering light
Faces are distorted in the flickering light.
Faces are twisted and grotesque
Faces appear twisted and grotesque.
Silent and stern in the sweltering night
Silent and stern individuals in the oppressive night.
Mob moves like demons possesed
The mob moves like possessed demons.
Quiet in conscience, calm in their right
Quiet in conscience, convinced of their righteousness.
Confident their ways are best
Confident that their ways are the correct ones.
Ooh, ahh
Expressing emotional sounds, perhaps reflecting distress.
The righteous rise
The morally upright individuals emerge.
With burning eyes
These individuals possess burning eyes filled with hatred and ill-will.
Of hatred and ill-will
Driven by hatred and malicious intentions.
Madmen fed on fear and lies
Madmen thrive on fear and lies.
To beat and burn and kill
Intent on beating, burning, and killing.
They say there are strangers who threaten us
Strangers are claimed to threaten society.
Our immigrants and infidels
Immigrants and infidels are singled out as dangers.
They say there is strangeness, too dangerous
Claiming that strangeness is perilous, particularly in cultural venues.
In our theatres and bookstore shelves
Warnings about dangers in theaters and bookstores.
Those who know what's best for us
Those who claim to know what is best must intervene to save society from perceived threats.
Must rise and save us from ourselves
The call to rise and protect society from itself.
Quick to judge
People are quick to pass judgment.
Quick to anger
Swift to anger.
Slow to understand
Slow to comprehend.
Ignorance and prejudice
Ignorance and prejudice go hand in hand.
And fear, walk hand in hand
Fear is intertwined with ignorance, prejudice, and leads to destructive actions.
