I see darkness
coming dressed in light
A sword of righteousness
turn bloody in the night
And I hear them say
God's Word gives them the right
I see a witch hunt coming down
Unholy rollers
making laws
The truth will be imprisoned
if allowed to speak at all
And all you pure of heart
will be hunted like outlaws
in the witch hunt coming down
Well take me far away from here
I don't want to be around for this
Don't want to see Christ betrayed again
for thirty pieces and a kiss
The Bride of Christ
seduced by politics
Dressed up like a harlot
and out there turning tricks
for every pimp and charlatan
who says he'll scratch her itch
in the witch hunt coming down
Well take me far away from here
I don't want to be around for this
Don't want to see Christ betrayed again
for thirty pieces and a kiss
There's another war
right around the corner
They'll say Jesus is their leader
but Jesus is a foreigner
They won't recognize him
among the murdered and the mourners
of the witch hunt coming down
Yeah, in the good name
of the Savior
I see forty million crosses
sharpened into sabres
Killing and thinking
that they're doing God a favor
with the witch hunt coming down
But there was a place so long ago
Where the Serpent fled the Dove
I want to go back to that place
where God meant nothing if not love
