Antemasque - Drown All Your Witches lyrics

My blood runs cold Through the streets of New Orleans And drink they will this bitter wine Our faith is burned From torches pushing southbound Unpunished goes no godly deed All I've ever done is hold the levee's thirst How could you sit there Just watching without a sound? On that day, with our backs against the wall Is that how you drowned all your witches? Down in the ocean, one by one, disappear Down in the ocean, one by one, disappear I fill these bags Stack them against the dam Am I on the wrong side of this wall? And when the cracks appear The sirens will serenade On just the wrong side of mercy All I've ever done is hold the levee's thirst How could you sit there Just watching without a sound? On that day, with our backs against the wall Is that how you drowned all your witches? Down in the ocean, one by one, disappear Down in the ocean, one by one, disappear If you should find yourself against the current And the whites of your eyes don't meet the dark again Just listen for that hymn we've always sung Is that how you drowned all your witches? Down in the ocean, one by one, disappear Down in the ocean, one by one, disappear
