The Witch
A Tale of Sacrifice and Cruelty: The Witch's Legacy Unveiled
Lyrics
She taught them hard
She instilled tough lessons.
She taught them well
She taught effectively.
Thirty years, cold as hell
Enduring a harsh period for thirty years.
But kids are cruel at the recess bell
Kids can be unkind during the break.
Children laugh, children yell
Children express joy and noise.
Ding dong the witch is dead
Celebration of the witch's demise.
She put them first
She prioritized others over herself.
Before herself
An act of self-sacrifice.
Self sacrifice she cast her spells
Used magic for the benefit of others.
She saw them turn from books and school
Witnessed them abandoning education for rebellion.
Pencils down, the broken rule
Disobedience and breaking rules.
Ding dong the witch is dead
Reiteration of the joyous news of the witch's death.
Ding dong the witch is dead
Repetition emphasizing the witch's demise.
Ding dong the witch is dead
Continued emphasis on the end of the witch.
Red red rover bring the witch on over
Symbolic game inviting the witch's arrival.
Break the line gonna send her off to hell
Planning to banish her to hell.
Well you know we're gonna slow her on down
Intention to slow her down, perhaps to prevent harm.
Oh it's just as well
Acceptance of the situation.
And the beat goes on
Life continues despite the witch's demise.
She taught them hard
Reiteration of her tough teachings.
She taught them well
Reiteration of her effective teaching methods.
Through the years
Over time, her influence diminished.
The cracks they fell
Cracks or flaws emerged in her teachings.
Kids are cruel at the recess bell
Reiteration of the cruelty of kids during recess.
Children laugh, children yell
Children continue to express joy and noise.
Ding dong the witch is dead
Repetition of the joyous news of the witch's death.
