Andy Ward - Salem '76 lyrics

This town's pretty cool around Halloween But other than that it's the same old scene All that history all that mystery For years I walked that hollowed ground And soon they pa**ed their judgment down And they'll never know they k**ed me years ago And I drown in the sound of yesterday's raid I burned at the stake of yesterday's raid And in my own hometown there's no attempt to help me down From the gallow's pull seven curses on a hangman's soul The spirit of the beating heart the blessed and the magic arts Rid my soul they took control They pulled my masquerade away And made mew hat I am today for all to see go on - look at me I'm not the one who danced with you then And I'm not the one who asked to see you again And in my own hometown there's no attempt to help me down From the gallow's pull seven curses on a hangman's soul This time I'll have the final word this time I'll win the case I won't become a Sarah Good again No one's gonna make me change my mind's made up and rearranged If they had their way they'd lynch me all over again And in my own hometown there's no attempt to help me down From the gallow's pull seven curses on a hangman's soul
