Legends and Lore Songtext

von Dreams in the Witch House

WITCH
Long ago light was elusive
Darkness brought me dreams intrusive with
Legends and lore
Legends and lore
Women then lived in God's shadow
Drawn by men into a hallowed holy war
And when my first born died
I was cruelly brought to trial
My innocence denied, I couldn't ignore
The legends and lore
JUDGE HATHORNE
In these times of superstition
Guilty by your own admission
Faith must be restored
You Devil's whore
Here you stand Keziah Mason
Our misfortunes you have hastened with your
Legends and lore
Now I shall sentence thee
As I've sentenced all the others
We can't show leniency
Faith must be restored
Amidst legends and lore
ELWOOD
Judge Hathorne and the others didn't understand
Keziah. She saw into the beyond, and they feared her.
FATHER IWANICKI
Fear has always driven men to desperate acts. Where
Fear comes, evil follows.
WITCH
And in the dark of night
While the frenzied town was sleeping
There came a violet light
Which opened a door
To legends and lore
Legends and lore
Legends and lore
Legends and lore
