Half Hanged

The rope was an improvisation
For her neighbours’ patience had fled
She was known for her strong willed nature
Thus the peasants had wanted her dead
You may leave her all night in your hatred
You may dare to come witness her dread
But next morn, as you look for her body
Half hanged Mary will take yours instead

Shocker, someone is afraid
No self reflection, so you put your eyes on me
She’s a rocker, a demon she must be
As you lack the vocabulary of women who are free
Not a witch, but woman and able
Just a bitch, born in the stables
We are neighbours, but only when you choose it
When the scales tip in my favour, time for you to construe it
Hang me by the rope
Don’t wait for me to choke
Hang me by the rope
Don’t wait for me to choke
You should have helped me then
As I had helped you, friend
But when the fire has died
They gather the torches up to the sky
I should have known back then
Fear and hate knows no end
But when I hang in the sky for a night
Innocence has died
I'm a fucking witch now
Hang me by the rope
Don’t wait for me to choke
Hang me by the rope
Don’t wait for me to choke
Hang me by the rope
Don’t wait for me to choke
String me to the highest of trees,
best be sure that I’m dead, cause I’m coming for thee
I am the witch, I am the witch
I am the witch, I am the witch
I am the witch, I am the witch
I am the witch, I am the witch
I am the witch, I am the witch
I am the witch, I am the witch
I am the witch, I am the witch
This is what you made
I became the thing you hate
I am the witch
I am the witch
I am the witch, I am the witch, I am the witch
I am, I am, I am
I am the witch
I am the witch
I am the witch, I am the witch, I am the witch
I am, I am, I am
I am the witch
