Lyrics Antemasque - Drown All Your Witches

My blood runs cold
Through the streets of New Orleans
And drink they will this bitter wine

Our faith is burned
From torches pushing southbound
Unpunished goes no godly deed

All I've ever done is hold the levee's thirst
How could you sit there
Just watching without a sound?
On that day, with our backs against the wall
Is that how you drowned all your witches?
Down in the ocean, one by one, disappear
Down in the ocean, one by one, disappear

I fill these bags
Stack them against the dam
Am I on the wrong side of this wall?
And when the cracks appear
The sirens will serenade
On just the wrong side of mercy

All I've ever done is hold the levee's thirst
How could you sit there
Just watching without a sound?
On that day, with our backs against the wall
Is that how you drowned all your witches?
Down in the ocean, one by one, disappear
Down in the ocean, one by one, disappear

If you should find yourself against the current
And the whites of your eyes don't meet the dark again
Just listen for that hymn we've always sung
Is that how you drowned all your witches?
Down in the ocean, one by one, disappear
Down in the ocean, one by one, disappear
