lyrics

In the woods do they gather
And to whom do they roam
Have you danced with the Devil
Hell, well I should've known

To the gallows
I can see it in her eyes
To the gallows
And the blood will never run dry
In the name of God
I condemn you to hell

In the depths of the water
Will she sink, will she float
Is there blood on the dagger
Hell, well I should've known

To the gallows
Where the souls forever cry
To the gallows
And the blood will never run dry
In the name of God
I condemn you to hell

Now we gather here today
Your sentence leads to death
So take your last breath and repent
Or save your words for the fire
And now we gather here today
Your deeds are soon to test
So take your last breath and repent
Or save your words for the fire
There's a place I haunt
And I'll call out for you
Everything I lost
Shall burn down with you

Every day and night we stalk the streets of Salem and all
The places we were martyrized while you were in the wrong
And I may bleed and die but your ropes and fire will damn you all the same
Remember all the victims lost while you were playing God

When the night is cold then you will know
The blood has not ran dry
You'll hear our cry deep in the night
From the gallows where we died
