Honestly
I was surprised that you’re still living
No blade in your back and

Honestly
It seems the world outside’s still spinning
Where’s the justice in that

Just like Richard, you said God gave your throne
But I’m more than happy to be an army of my own yes

Holy water let me down when I was drowning in it
Serpent smiles called me heathen just for falling in your step
If I am Joan and all alone to hear the calls our for your head
I’ll plant my courage in the soil where my sister witches bled
For you

Honestly
When I look back I don’t feel anger
Just a sort of steady shame

Honestly
It’s every morning that I tell myself
I don’t have to name it

And honestly
I’d walk right past you just to tell the next
She’s not the first

Honestly
I’d rather she the opportunity
To burn you into dirt

Like Alexander, you were God’s gift to the world
Guess that leaves me the due to go tell all your girls

Holy water let me down when I was drowning in it
Serpent smiles called me heathen just for falling in his step
If you, like Joan, feel all alone in saying he’s not what he seems
Settle down here in the soil where our sisters laid their screams

So yeah I’m Satan walking, loyalty means nothing, get my drift,
The excommunicated don’t scare well at pitchforks, a little spit
And you can shout that the blood coating your palms is righteous,
But anyone can see that my small hands are clean
When the parlour show’s over won’t be the one down on her knees

You know, the thing that scared me most, that kept me quiet, was feeling seen

Like Juliet, they called our love a guileless sin
But we’ve got the dagger and we’re gonna do you in

Holy water let us down when we were drowning in it
Serpent smiles called us heathens just for falling in your step
There’s crowds, like Joan, left all alone to realise they were burning
But soil grows and sister souls have eyes with power to raise the dead

If I was you I’d say your prayers ‘cos
It’s very rare that
A witch comes unprepared
