lyrics
(Marsh, Bell, Ewen)
Speak to me Witchmonger
Tell me what new have you learned?
Are the maids now in the courtyard,
watching distant fires burn?
And the flame of words – it warms you
Do you know what you have done?
Are the children raising torches to your song?
I walk (and it follows)
I run (and it follows)
I hide (and it follows me)
Follows me always!
I sleep (and it follows)
I dream (and it follows)
I die and (it follows me)
Follows me always...
(Burn the witch, burn the witch!)
Take back control...
(Burn the witch, burn the witch!)
Time for change...
(Burn the witch, burn the witch!)
Stop the vote...
(Burn the witch, burn the witch!)
Lock him up...
(Burn the witch, burn the witch!)
That’s fake news...
(Burn the witch, burn the witch!)
It’s all a joke...
What should we do with the truths, Witchmonger?
What should we do with the truth?
And who did you choose to speak it for you?
What should we do with these truths from you?
Speak to me Witchmonger
Tell me what news is your word?
Will you follow your own breadcrumbs,
as you sing now from your perch?
And the neon screens they warm you
Change your avatar and run
Does your real face show the world what you have done?
(Walk away, I walk, I walk!)
I walk (and it follows)
I run (and it follows)
I hide (and it follows me)
Follows me always!
(Walk away, I walk, I sleep!)
I sleep (and it follows)
I dream (and it follows)
I die and (it follows me)
Follows me always...
(Walk away, I’m blind, I sleep!)
I sleep (and it follows)
I dream (and it follows)
I die and (it follows...)
When you talk do they listen?
Are they following your lead?
Is the fear that’s driving us just words we heed?
Now you’re standing in the crowd
And directing our gaze,
Are we looking for the rest to feel afraid?
And no, you can’t drown out the noise
And you know it will not change
When they’re hiding from the rats
Caught in the maze
Still you’re standing in the crowd
And still holding our gaze
But we’re still burning Witches in your flames...

The White Witch - A Symphonic Trilogy
by Magentasupported by 36 fans who also own “Witchmonger”
This is the most beautiful symphonic progressive music I have heard since I first heard Yes' Magnification nearly 20 years ago. Robert Reed's orchestrations are magnificent, and are very much on par with Trevor Rabin's film scores as well as Larry Groupe's score for Magnification. I am a french horn player, and his soaring horn parts are some of the best I have ever heard. For some reason I could not select Part1: Sacrifice as my favorite track. It is indeed my favorite.
