SAXON - Witches of Salem (Official Lyric Video)

Saxon – 𝐖𝚰𝐓𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐒𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐌 🧙🏻‍♀️ 🔥 from the new album “𝕳𝖊𝖑𝖑, 𝕱𝖎𝖗𝖊 𝕬𝖓𝖉 𝕯𝖆𝖒𝖓𝖆𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓“ out now: #themightysaxon #witchesofsalem #hellfireanddamnation 🎥 by Very Metal Art Hell, Fire And Damnation is an album which sees Saxon investigate all areas of history and mystery amidst ten of their most confident and thunderously powerful songs yet. In “Witches Of Salem”, lead singer and founding member Biff Byford, explores the unjust condemnation of the women victimised at the Salem witch trials and the sheer bigotry and mass hysteria prevalent at the time. “This is an American story, but the witch trials started in Scotland, spread into England and across the sea to the colonies in America. Those poor women in Salem,” explains Byford “they weren’t ‘witches’ more than just unfortunate women really, blamed for everybody’s ailments... whether your horse died, or the milk went sour, they blamed women. Maybe because they were jealous of them, or maybe it was because some guy had made some advances and she’d told him to piss-off, so he’d declare that she was a witch. And once a person was declared a witch, I don’t think there was any way back from that; very few of them were found innocent.” Listen To/Watch “Madame Guillotine” Listen To/Watch “There’s Something In Roswell” Listen To/Watch “Hell, Fire And Damnation” HELL, FIRE & CHAOS - THE BEST OF BRITISH ROCK & METAL TOUR 23 April – The Parker, Fort Lauderdale, FL 24 April – Seminole Hard Rock Hotel And Casino, Tampa, FL 25 April – The Plaza Live, Orlando, FL 27 April – Buckhead Theatre, Atlanta, GA 28 April – Mercury Ballroom, Louisville, KY 30 April – The Metropolitan Theatre, Morgantown, WV 1 May – Roxian Theatre, Pittsburgh, PA 2 May – Penn’s Peak, Jim Thorpe, PA 3 May – Bergen Performing Arts Center, Englewood, NJ 5 May – Citizens House of Blues, Boston, MA 7 May – Patchogue Theatre, Long Island, NY 8 May – Keswick Theatre, Glenside, PA 10 May – Paramount Hudson Theatre, Peekskill, NY 11 May – TempleLive at Cleveland Masonic, Cleveland, OH 12 May – The Lerner Theatre, Elkhart, IN 13 May – Saint Andrew’s Hall, Detroit, MI 14 May – GLC Live at 20 Monroe, Grand Rapids, MI 16 May – People’s Bank Theatre, Marietta, OH 17 May – Bogart’s, Cincinnati, OH 18 May – Rialto Square Theatre, Joliet, IL 19 May – Arcada Theatre, St. Charles, IL 21 May – Brown County Music Center, Nashville, IN 22 May – The Pabst Theater, Milwaukee, WI 24 May – Gillioz Theatre, Springfield, MO 25 May – TempleLive at Scottish Rite Center, Wichita, KS 27 May – Haute Spot, Cedar Park, TX 29 May – House Of Blues, Houston, TX 30 May – Tobin Center for the Performing Arts, San Antonio, TX 31 May – Glass Cactus, Dallas, TX 2 June – Speaking Rock Casino, El Paso, TX Tickets/Info: In a sleepy quiet town Down Massachusetts Way The silence sudden broken By the chanting mob at bay Circling round a woman Accused of witching craft Take her down before the judge To hear the damming draft See the flames of bigotry Leaping ever higher Someone has to pay the price To feed the righteous fire Witches of Salem Burning at the stake Witches of Salem Victims of the hate Witches of Salem On to gallows hill Witches of Salem They’re hungry for the kill Accusations made Filled with rage and malice Betraying friends and neighbours Before the holy chalice Standing trial before the mob Hysteria rules the day Preaching fire and brimstone There’s nothing you can say See the flames of bigotry Leaping ever higher Someone has to pay the price To feed the righteous fire Witches of Salem Burning at the stake Witches of Salem Victims of the hate Witches of Salem On to gallows hill Witches of Salem They’re hungry for the kill Woe betide the woman Who doesn’t seem to fit All it took was just a word To take them to the pit If you plead your innocent You were taken to the trial It didn’t matter what you say They won’t believe denial See the flames of bigotry Leaping ever higher Someone has to pay the price To feed the righteous fire Witches of Salem Burning at the stake Witches of Salem Victims of the hate Witches of Salem On to gallows hill Witches of Salem They’re hungry for the kill *** THE OFFICIAL CHANNEL OF THE MIGHTY SAXON: THE LEGENDARY NWOBHM PIONEERS WHO GAVE YOU “DENIM AND LEATHER“, “WHEELS OF STEEL“, “747 (STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT)“, “HEAVY METAL THUNDER“, “MOTORCYCLE MAN“, “PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT“, “20,000 FT“, “THUNDERBOLT“ AND MANY, MANY MORE SUPERCHARGED HEAVY METAL ANTHEMS.
