Cast the barbs
Build fences high
Keep them in
And bleed them dry
Break the things they’ve alchemized
And hear the witches scream
Draw the ropes
And bind them tight
Have horses drag them through the night
Dump their cauldrons
Snap their brooms
And hear the witches scream
Scream scream
The witches shall
All in the town will hear them howl
Then let them rest until their death
When they will scream again
Cast the barbs
Build fences high
Keep them in
And bleed them dry
Break the things they’ve alchemized
And hear the warlocks scream
Draw the ropes
And bind them tight
Have horses drag them through the night
Torch their tomes
Snap their staffs
And hear the warlocks scream
Scream scream
The warlocks shall
All in the town will hear them howl
Then let them rest until their death
When they will scream again
Scream scream
Black cats have come
They have picked the locks undone
Now the witches storm the town
To burn the whole thing down
Scream scream
Black cats have come
They have picked the locks undone
Now the warlocks storm the town
To burn the whole thing down
Witches, warlocks, side by side
Have set the little town alight
The townsfolk try to run and hide
No soul escapes tonight
Cast the barbs
Build fences high
Keep them in
And bleed them dry
Curse their sprawling fields to die
And hear the townsfolk scream
Draw the ropes
And bind them tight
Have horses drag them through the night
Dump their harvest
Snap their tools
And hear the townsfolk scream
Scream scream
The townsfolk shall
And as they do, the witches howl
Then let them rest until their death
When they will scream again
Scream scream
The townsfolk shall
And as they do, the warlocks howl
Then let them rest until their death
When they will scream again
