Witchfinder
WITCHFINDER Lyrics

I'm coming to find you
The singer intends to locate and capture the target

I'm coming to get you
The singer is determined to apprehend the target

I'm coming to take you away
The singer plans to remove the target from their current location

You witches are evil
The artist has a biased belief that witches are inherently immoral

You worship the devil
The artist assumes that witches have a certain religious affiliation

So listen to what I say
The singer expects compliance with their instructions

Come peacefully from out of your huts
The singer demands that the witches surrender without resistance

Or I'll have you witches prey
The artist suggests that deadly force will be used if the witches do not comply

I want destroy you
The artist expresses their desire to harm the witches

Must play and toy you
The artist intends to inflict emotional and physical pain on the witches

And watch you wither away
The singer revels in the idea of the witches' suffering and eventual death

Who's coming to get you
The artist rhetorically asks who is apprehending the witches

Find you guilty witch woman
The singer predetermines the guilt of the accused witch without evidence

'Cause I am the Witch finder General
The singer identifies themselves as a person with authority and power over witches

The trial's begun and people come
The singer describes the start of a rigged trial and spectators' attendance

From many towns around
The artist implies that their jurisdiction and authority over witches extends far beyond their current location

I find them guilty just to please me
The artist admits to unfairly prejudging the accused witches and simply enjoying their power over them

And feed them to a hound
The singer envisions the witches' brutal deaths by animal attack

I bite their brains and cut their veins
The singer graphically describes their methods of torture and execution

Strike them to the ground
The artist takes pleasure in physically assaulting and harming the accused witches

Insult their bodies till they're dead
The artist is sadistic and enjoys not just the physical pain, but also the humiliation of the accused witches

Let the soil be their surround
The artist shows no respect for the deceased witches and regards them as mere waste to dispose of

He picks us up, he knocks us down
The singer's opponents describe the singer's actions as arbitrary and violent

He says he hates our slang
The artist has a peculiar dislike for their enemies' language

He plays with us like pawns in chess
The singer manipulates and toys with their enemies as if they were mere game pieces

Come on let's get a gang
The singer invites their allies to join them in fighting against the singer's enemies

If your girl is tight, he'll take a bite
The singer is highly misogynistic and prone to sexual violence

Say witch with evil mange
The artist insults their enemies by comparing them to diseased animals

So if you've hope, let's grab a rope
The artist threatens opposition with hanging

And watch that bastard hang
The singer takes pride in the punishment and humiliation of their enemies

So you think you can beat me
The singer is taunting and challenging their enemies

Hang me completely
The artist declares their complete faith in their ability to survive and overcome any threat

You should know better than that
The artist considers their enemies to be unwise and foolish

I'll take your wenches
The artist boasts of their ability to steal their enemies' women as trophies

Tie them on benches
The singer plans to abuse and humiliate their stolen women

Feed them to a rat
The artist reveals their twisted mind and sadistic tendencies

So if you try me
The singer warns their enemies of dire consequences if they oppose the singer

Even deny me
The singer assumes that their enemies might dare to confront the singer

I'll beat you, you're a brat
The singer threatens brutal physical violence upon their enemies

So come on folks
The artist challenges their audience and insults their intelligence

Don't try provoke
The artist arrogantly warns their opposition to avoid provoking the artist's wrath

'Cause to me you're a fragile gnat
The singer belittles their enemies as insignificant and powerless

'Cause I'm the Witch finder General
The singer reaffirms their authority and self-importance
