Witch of the Black Hills Lyrics

On a gloomy winter night, she draws her very last breath

With her life on the line, she might face a merciless death

Leaving blood-red footprints on a pale, white snow

Pursued by the townsfolk, torches cast an ominous glow

Passenger on a ship, by raging waves she's deafened

Emigrates to Maryland in October 1677

To start a new life, free of pain and oppression

A warm welcome by the people, that hide burning aggression

The witch has arrived, to taint their hearts

There's no denying, the witch hunt starts

They searched her cabin, filled with Twanas and malevolence

"She's the one in league with the devil! Here's the evidence!"

The crowd is waiting

She will be hanging

I'll haunt this soil and all of your minds

I curse you all, heed my word

Forever vengeful till the end of times

Remember the name, Elly Kedward
