Seven Witches released a Demo-CD in 1998 which gave them a record deal with Massacre Records. The first two CDs Second War In Heaven and City Of Lost Souls featured vocalist Bobby L. Bobby Lucas was the one who named the band and wrote the lyrics with Jack Frost, Bobby Lucas left the band in 2000 and was replaced with Wade Black who left Crimson Glory for Seven Witches.
With Wade Black on vocals, the band recorded their 3rd Studio Album Xiled To Infinity And One. Wade Black left the band in 2002 and was replaced with James Rivera (Helstar). Bass Guitar player Billy Mez also left the band in 2002 and was replaced with the well known Joey Vera who has played in Fates Warning, Anthrax, and Armored Saint.
James Rivera gained huge success and recorded two albums with the band, Passage To The Other Side and Year Of The Witch. James left the band in 2005 to continue with his main project, Helstar.
In June, 2005, singer Alan Tecchio (most known for his work with the band Hades) joined Seven Witches and recorded their sixth studio album, Amped. Alan joined the band after singing on "Hell or High Water", a song for Jack Frost solo project. Frost, satisfied with Tecchio's vocals, asked him to join the band. Shortly after that, Kevin Bolembach also joined as Seven Witches' new bass player. Kevin and Alan had played together in Non-Fiction from 1991 to 1996.
Seven Witches released "Deadly Sins" in 2007. Former bass player Joey Vera mixed the album.

Betrayed
Seven Witches Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I open my eyes
I can see for the very first time
Your vast ocean of lies
I've given all
In a blind leap of faith
But hope is constricting
Your truths are restricting
My time's coming around
Dark eyes they burn me
As promise deserts
As I hang on for every word
Finally starting to learn
Eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
As vengeance fulfills me
Your lies they have ruled me, yeah
My time's coming around
You'll be going down
Betrayed like a wave on the ocean
And a knife in your back
Betrayed like love and devotion
And the Judas kiss
Betrayed like a wave on the ocean
And a knife in your back
Betrayed like love and devotion
And the Judas kiss
Betrayed
Betrayed like a wave on the ocean
And a knife in your back
Betrayed like love and devotion
And the Judas kiss
Betrayed like a wave on the ocean
And a knife in your back
Betrayed like love and devotion
And the Judas kiss
Betrayed, betrayed

My blood it turns to cold
I am overcome with fear and shock
As I open my eyes
As I finally realize the truth of the matter
I can see for the very first time
I am now aware of the lies I have been living in
Your vast ocean of lies
Your deceitful behavior is immeasurable
I've given all
I have put all my trust into you
In a blind leap of faith
Without knowing the consequences, I believed in you
But hope is constricting
My hope for a truthful relationship is fading away
Your truths are restricting
Your deception is making me feel trapped
My time's coming around
The time for justice is approaching
Dark eyes they burn me
Your gaze now disgusts me
As promise deserts
As you break every commitment you ever made
As I hang on for every word
As I continue to wait for your lies to unravel
Finally starting to learn
I am now beginning to understand the truth
Eye for an eye
Retaliation for your wrongdoing is necessary
And a tooth for a tooth
Your punishment will be equal to the harm you caused
As vengeance fulfills me
As I feel satisfied with getting even
Your lies they have ruled me, yeah
Your falsehoods had significant control over me
You'll be going down
You will pay the price for your deceitful actions
Betrayed like a wave on the ocean
Betrayed as it comes unexpectedly and with force
And a knife in your back
Betrayed as it is a painful and dangerous attack
Betrayed like love and devotion
Betrayed as it violates the trust and commitment given in a loving relationship
And the Judas kiss
Betrayed as it is the ultimate act of treachery, just like Judas Iscariot's betrayal of Jesus
Betrayed
Emphasis on the feelings of the singer, who feels deeply wounded by the betrayal
Betrayed
Reiteration of the artist's sense of devastation
