Witch
Witch
Tied to a stake
And burned
Red, Flickering flames
Consuming her body
Climbing higher
Tortured flesh
Pain
Pain
Searing
Scorching
Screaming
The fire crackling
Her skin blistering
Tortured screams
Listen
Listen
No more!
What if...
Innocent?
What if...
Accusations Untrue?
All lies!
Too late to stop
Flames out of control
Watch
Watch
Can't!
The stench
Burning Flesh
Burning hair
Oh, dear God in Heaven
Stop the pain
Dying
Dying
Enduring agony
Seems forever
Death
No more pain
Nothing to feel
Nothing to fear
Sleep
Sleep
Forever
