Drown All Your Witches - Antemasque

My blood runs cold

Through the streets of New Orleans

And drink they will this bitter wine

Our faith has burnt

From torches pushing southbound

Unpunished goes no godly deed

All I’ve ever done was 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 disappeared

Down in the ocean, one by one disappeared

I fill these bags and stack them against the dam

My, I’m 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 disappeared

Down in the ocean, one by one disappeared

If you should find yourself against the current

And the whites of your eyes go greet the Dawn again

Just listen for that hymn that we’ve always sung

'Is that how you drowned all your witches?'

Down in the ocean, one by one disappeared

Down in the ocean, one by one disappeared
