Wow nobody has commented yet? This was a powerful song to me... But anyways, I think it is about a guy that loves a witch or satanist. She has been caught and is going to be burned at the stake. (obviously this is a long time ago)

"You know you'll burn at the hands of your king As they scream "Let them burn" You know you won't You won't forgive them

She crawls through the dirt like a four-legged spider He's there, laying beside her As the serpent's tongue is wrapped around her neck Let them burn Let them burn"

He loves her too much to let her go to hell, and he still sees hope for her.

"Open all the voiceless souls Into the ears of a traitor I still see a believer The witness is here"

He seems to know that he is her last chance at being saved and accepting Jesus.

"It seems that which hang men over But I can show them the portal to saviour As empty words to forgive The witness is here"

Finally, just before the flames engulf her, she looks to heaven and cries out to God.

"Open all the voiceless souls She falls to her knees, and she begs for forgiveness As the Heavens open their gates The wood burns and a fire blazed But he bought back your soul with the blood of the saviour" (I have the lyrics with the cd insert)

A beautiful picture of the saving grace of Christ, illustrating that no matter what anyone has done, they can be redeemed.

Correct lyrics:

You tried to spit at the sun-- blot it out like a burning ember. (She has a porcelain soul)

As you crawl under the moon, make it hurt; make this bed and sleep forever, (she has a porcelain soul)

because the life you live is less than alive. as they scream, "let them burn!" you know you'll burn at the hands of your kin (as they scream, "let them burn!")

You know you won't, won't forgive them.

She crawls through the dirt like a four-legged spider. He's there, laying beside her when the serpents tongue is...

oops... didn't mean to reply to this comment.
