Heretic Lyrics

Heretic, burn at the stake
Witch, float like a log

Wine from the blade on the night, night of the full moon
Voices that call spirits in waiting
Sharing the drink of the bond
A broth of roots and charms
Spells under the twisted tree

Heretic, burn at the cross
Witch, float like a log

Flask over fire amongst cobwebs of cellars
Mixture that turns metal into gold
Bring life to the dying
Secret till the last words are told

Accused and convicted
For nothing I suffer your fear
Nailed to a burning cross
Heretic, heretic

From life to death
You've been good
As for the past
Time will tell

That's Chris with no doubt. actually he sounds great.

the song is about women being accused to be witches and been burnd at the stake in the past, i think... but there must be some undercovered meaning to this

Hey ShadowOfThePast (Which is incidently a chapter on LOTR am I right?), it says on the unofficial soundgarden site that Hiro wrote the lyrics for this song. Not that I doubt your initial statement

@hunter_benedict Correct. But Chris 100% sang this

I have a question for anyone willing to answer. Who actually sung this song? Was it Chris or was it Hiro? The reason why I ask is because the singing sounds screwed

Where the fuck have you gone? I only assumed it was Hiro singing because the singing sounds different to Chris Cornell and the lyrics were written by him

Flask over fire? I thought it was Flesh over fire...

That makes more sense to me, you know?

i dont think hiro sings because the voice on the song is different than in circle of power.

Hiro rocks, and truly too.
