Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Holding hands, skipping like a stone
On our way to see what we have done
The first to speak is the first to lie
The children cross their hearts and hope to die
[Verse 2]
Bite your tongue
Swear to keep your mouth shut
[Verse 3]
Ask yourself, will I burn in hell?
Then write it down and cast it in the well
There they are, the mob it cries for blood
To twist the tale into firewood
[Verse 4]
Fan the flames with a little lie
Then turn your cheek until the fire dies
The skin it peels like the truth away
What is was I will never say
[Verse 5]
Bite your tongue
Swear to keep, keep your mouth shut
Make up something
Make up something good
[Verse 6]
Holding hands, skipping like a stone
Burn the witch, burn to ash and bone
Burn the witch, burn to ash and bone
Burn the witch, burn to ash and bone
