The Crucible Lyrics
The crucible...
The crucible...
The trial begins, hang the witch
Spectral examination, crucial confession
Madness! The floodgates are opened
Salem witch trials 1692
The whole city under voodoo
Witches singing, forest breathing
Slaves chanting and conjuring
Wonders of the invisible world
The devil was it's servant
Indians conversing with demons
The September executions
Burn the crucible, burn
Burn the crucible, burn
Weird, wild chill in the night
Possessed by evil spirits they rise
Witchcraft signs shows in the sky
Abigail lies, John Proctor's deny
With wings of a fallen angel
More than ordinary affliction
Shining city up on the hill
Conspiracy machinery in motion
Burn the crucible, burn
Burn the crucible, burn
The crucible...
The crucible...
I won't sing this confession
I will die for my actions
I won't sign this confession
Salem burns... resurrection
The crucible...
The crucible...
Spectral examination, crucial confession
Madness! The floodgates are opened
The whole city under voodoo
Witches singing, forest breathing
Slaves chanting and conjuring
The devil was it's servant
Indians conversing with demons
The September executions
Burn the crucible, burn
Possessed by evil spirits they rise
Witchcraft signs shows in the sky
Abigail lies, John Proctor's deny
More than ordinary affliction
Shining city up on the hill
Conspiracy machinery in motion
Burn the crucible, burn
The crucible...
I will die for my actions
I won't sign this confession
Salem burns... resurrection
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
Would suggest that the song is about the Salem witch trials and how religion (or the people) used "fear" to make decisions (that there were witches).
It is still quite relevant today as we (society) continue to look for scape goats and we can all breathe easier when someone confesses (whether coerced or not) ... for it gives us closure.
