Witches & Martyrs
I don't want to die
Just want a little death
I just want the aroma,
Don't need to bite
I just want a little taste
Torture me now
While I am on the edge.

Will there be hands
To catch me in my fall?
This little death
It's a good one
Isn't it?
I am no good
If I am no good with my hands
But if I am too good
Then I am way too good
For my own good.

A witch
I don't talk to God
He talks to me
Six fingers
I don't want to know what it means
Just burn me to ashes
I don't want to live to see
The Barcelona church finally finished.

If something can withstand time
And time again
Is the religion
And the evil
Perhaps those are
The very same thing.

Crucified and buried
Six feet underground
Perhaps heaven is there
United with hell
In a holy matrimony
And divorce is inevitable.

Or Lucifer and God
Are the very best of friends
And they always were
They just put on a show for us
To choose a side
The victory is always theirs
A witch or a martyr
Either way
I am dead.
