The witches

By beamish


Burn the witches? Well then burn me also. Free thinking isn't a sin. They paid with their flesh never repenting.
I stay hidden scared of redemption.
I've walked at their graves and pondered that day would I be that brave or would have I just ran away.  
A mighty man I claim to be  they were actually the giants roaming the lands of man. Threatening beliefs that God said question.
I can feel their ashes filling my mind  their strength their honor transcending time.  
I feel their tears running as if they were mine - the fire - the flames dancing in my mind. 
The Heroes of our day shouldn't be on the tv. The goddess of life the people we should long to be. So set free your path but understand there is a price.  
Be the witch the seeker of truth. Just be ready for that  day when they come with the torch and tell you to say. I repent my sins let the cleansing begin.  Just look to the sky and smile.  The fire will burn only for awhile, but your soul will swim free amongst the trees for eternity

    This sounds like a summoning, or better, an oath. Crude and true...
