lyrics

B.A.T.S
The door was locked I feel so down
I can't lift my head from the ground
I'd come so far it was so dark
I found the key but not the spark

An open door I stand before
An offer to an endless world
To step inside is to decide
Modern life is worth the strife

BURNT AT THE STAKE

An empty room I stand within
Not guilty of a crime or sin
Victim of an ancient law
I crack a smile 'cause I want more

Doused in flames, myself to blame
But I do not feel any shame
To give my soul up to the fire
And give voice to the Salem Choir

BURNT AT THE STAKE for what you believe
And make no mistake they want you to bleed

An effigy for all to see burns high above the sea
The blackest waves they crash on rocks, you disappear
Now you're gone, you're going, ascending
Finding all the makers of this world
