Violent Command Lyrics by Ethnocide

Sentenced to Die

2017

Victims of fits and sickness, no visible cause to blame
A trio of outcast women, accused of witchcraft, each by name
Two deny the accusations but a third confesses guilt
Paranoia grips the town, "the bitch's blood it must be spilt"
Brought before the gallows condemned by God and man
Sentenced to hang for their crimes, no evidence to defend
Screaming out for mercy, through the tightening hangman's noose
Cries fall upon deafened ears, the thirst for blood has been set loose

Violence takes command
Submit to its demand
Escalation of excessive force
Blind action with no remorse

Taken before the magistrates for a public investigation
Torment of the town, witchery the sole causation
Trials for the accused, using spectral evidence
Testimony enough to convict by the credulous
Refusal to admit their crimes brought upon torturous end
Yet some endured the suffering, innocence they contend
Under the crushing burden of boulders and unfounded claims
Curse the town of Salem, for a score of deaths it is to blame

Violence takes command
Submit to its demand
Escalation of excessive force
Blind action with no remorse

Disregarding reason, public tensions running high
Hysteria spread through the colonies, condemning innocents to die
Caught up in the moment, no longer self aware
Anonymity for everyone, responsibility for none to share
A corrupt justice system run by accusation more than fact
Through their own allegations, they performed the devil's act
Proof is not their burden, accusation the only cause
Raise an extended finger, execution by the law

Violence takes command
Submit to its demand
Escalation of excessive force
Blind action with no remorse

Violence takes command
Submit to its demand
Escalation of excessive force
Blind action without any recourse
