lyrics

She was fifteen was she was seen with burning ashes on her dress,
And no one questioned why she stained her adolescent innocence,
"She's only young, and while among the trusting people of this town,
She won't be tried for hellish crimes that only evil men could do,
Just leave her alone"

She held a match up to a lantern, took the lantern to a house,
The house it burned down to the ground,
Her mother turned around and asked her what she'd done,
Said "where were you, when in the dark and lonely hours of the night,
A fire grew and swallowed up the neighbours in a yellow light?"
She said "I was alone"

She spoke in tongues, out in the thick of branches scrawny from the cold,
And made a scorching and a murderous inferno of their bones,
To summon up the crimson light to light the boredom in her life,
And when the pastor asked her what she'd done to stray so far from God,
She said "He left me alone"
And she fled in the night, some disheveled bride,
Of the devils that constantly bid her "Goodbye"
