La Sorcière

Belladonna burned limb to limb <br/> Thistle thorns pinned to her hips<br/> She turned to ashes <br/> They coughed up black<br/> Can't kill a witch with her pride intact <br/> <br/> Oh no<br/> The Devil's daughter <br/> Can take the piss<br/> Jus primae noctis<br/> <br/> He said, “let’s just forget<br/> All the pain that is the past”<br/> Three marks on skin scored in red<br/> The scarlet letter lies on her back<br/> <br/> Rose from the ashes<br/> They called her name<br/> She is the baroness<br/> Patron saint of shame<br/> Didn’t wish for martyrdom,<br/> Didn’t wish for blame<br/> All the embers, are like flags in the flame
