Without Ceremony And Bell Toll lyrics

Summer 1657
A tailor's daughter in pain - bewitched
A healer had told that the witch will be revealed
Before sundown a woman known as evil appeard

"That bitch must have done it.
She must be the offspring of satan himself"

Despite the accusitions she offered to help
And poured a potion all over her
All of a sudden she started to shake
The birth of four frog-like creatures was seen

"She threatened me that inside I would melt
'cos I didn't give her butter" - the poor girl yelled
So the witch was bound in heavy chains.
And taken to the court as a servant of hell

"I met a mysterious black man.
He kissed me and taught how to do harm"
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/darkwoods_my_betrothed/without_ceremony_and_bell_toll.html ]
As interrogation and torture went on.
Heard the good people of the court horrible things
Thirteen years as servant of satan.
A whore and a right hand to the dark prince

Sabbaths, or devotions to the devil
Were held on a small nearby hill
At the peak of the torment
She turned in a few who had been there

"I met a mysterious black man.
He kissed me and taught how to do harm"

343 days she spent in prison.
While the court sentenced her to death
A morning when the summer was at it's warmest.
She was taken out and beheaded with another witch

Burned to ashes, spat on, despised
Buried into a hole outside of the holy ground
Shamefully she was laid to rest
Without ceremony and bell toll
