lyrics

Spare me all the petty details
The drunken tales so spun with valor, now sweet will soon turn sour
They found her with blood beneath her nails
Curled up in the river and her limbs had become splinters

It's become a witch hunt for the murderer of Jane
My love, oh my love, sing for me once more
Behind the walls they can't see the pain
And the scars on my heart that she tore and tore

Elizabeth who lives down on the main
Tell her she's suspected and the evidence suggested
She's guilty of bewitching my dear Jane
I hear there's twenty more just like her and the devils dare not spite her

It's become a witch hunt for the murderer of Jane
My love, oh my love, sing for me once more
Behind the walls they can't see the pain
And the scars on my heart that she tore and tore

Hang the witches, burn the crows!
This village be unholy, we've gone to hell so slowly
Though laconic, this rotten lot all knows
It's best to keep our heads, lest we be conjured from our beds

It's become a witch hunt for the murderer of Jane
My love, oh my love, sing for me once more
Behind the walls they can't see the pain
And the scars on my heart that she tore and tore

It's become a witch hunt for the murderer of Jane
Did they see through my lies and facade of moans?
Behind the walls, they found out my feign
And the scars on her back, and the slits in her bones
