By the water
By the rope
By the fire
Up in smoke
Oh, but the fear lives still, don't it?
That's what you can't kill
Listen with precision
Boy, you made a bad decision
And like all your burning witches
You must stand for your conviction
Hush quiet, have a listen
Do you hear the winds a shiftin'
Like a whisper through the trees?
Every burning torch
You had them carry for you, baby
But the ones so quick to follow
Shouldn't count on them to save you
Yeah, it's one you dug yourself
Where they're gonna lay you
Should we call it irony?
My, my
Is this all sounding a little bit strange?
My, my
Coming up like whispers from the grave?
My, my
Thought you'd have us quiet where we lay?
My, my
Now you're gonna see
By the water
By the rope
By the fire
Up in smoke
Oh, but the fear lives still, don't it?
That's what you can't kill
Go on, pick up your speed
Try and find a place for hiding
You might make it to the hills
Buy yourself a little time
But what you outrun in the day
Will come double in the night
Take you right up from your knees
My, my
Is this all sounding a little bit strange?
My, my
Coming up like whispers from the grave?
My, my
Thought you'd have us quiet where we lay?
My, my
Now you're gonna see
By the water
By the rope
By the fire
Up in smoke
Oh, but the fear lives still, don't it?
That's what you can't kill
That's what you
That's what you
That's what you can't kill
That's what you
That's what you
That's what you can't kill
That's what you
That's what you
That's what you can't kill
That's what you
That's what you can't kill
