They were not the wise men, nor thinkers of their day
They were not true prophets, but led their sheep astray
The evils of the past, still haunt the world today
They were mad, misguided fools, they burned her at the stake
You were just a young girl, a mission to fulfill
You thought that you heard Jesus, an aegis for his will
The actions in your name, a woman borne by flame
You were strong, the virgin lamb, Your life was not in vain
Still I think, that we are all to blame
Us hypocrites, us sinners, the deluded and the vain
We helped raise the stake
As the flames grew higher, The embers like a crown
The people cried and shouted, to tear that castle down
Were you truly gifted, silenced by the wicked
You'll live on, in stories told, the passion of a maid
Still I think, that we are all to blame
Us hypocrites, us sinners, the deluded and the vain
We helped raise the stake
