Salem

Standing at the stake
This is just Salem all over again
Why can we never seem to learn from history?
Why do we always have to fight til the last one is on his knees?
Standing at the stake
Burning all remains of whom we used to call our friends
This is just Salem all over again today
History repeats itself, just in a different way

Now I've just stopped trusting anyone
For the sake of myself
Cause look where it's gotten me
I'm gonna get myself killed
I see the fire coming my way
On the trail of gasoline to the stake
Burning til there's nothing left to safe

Betrayal, letdown
You try to push me off the edge but I pull you down
With me, baby, your spirit amazes me
Burn me if you want to
Don't worry, I will be back to haunt you
Break you down, freak you out, burn this whole place to the ground
Make you feel the way I feel now

Salem, this is where we burn 'em
Salem, this is where we earn it
This is where we earn the trust of our father
Satan, our spirit who makes us immortal
Salem, this is where we burn 'em
Salem, this is where we earn it
This is where we earn the trust of our father
Satan, our spirit who makes us immortal

Standing at the stake
Hands tied behind my back and I can't even scream for help
History writes itself
With the bloody ink we use on its behalf

Look, I've just stopped trusting anyone
For the sake of myself
Cause look where it's gotten me
My friends are watching me get grilled
A raging fire fills up my body
Smell of gasoline makes me higher than molly
Your prayers been long overdue
Forgiveness won't come easy to a fool like you

Betrayal, letdown
You try to push me off the edge but I pull you down
With me, baby, your spirit amazes me
Burn me if you want to
Don't worry, I will be back to haunt you
Break you down, freak you out, burn this whole place to the ground
Make you feel the way I feel now

Salem, this is where we burn 'em
Salem, this is where we earn it
This is where we earn the trust of our father
Satan, our spirit who makes us immortal
Salem, this is where we burn 'em
Salem, this is where we earn it
This is where we earn the trust of our father
Satan, our spirit who makes us immortal

And the cycle goes on and on
And it doesn't seem like it's ever gonna stop
We'll keep on burning them
And not learning from the mistakes we made
It's gonna cost us our humanity someday
If it's not already too late
