Death By Fire - Earth Opera[00:00:00]
I decree that her death be by rumor the skull gleamed[00:00:07]
And creaking sat back in it's chair[00:00:14]
In agreement the room full of white teeth all clicked[00:00:22]
And they said we must do what is fair[00:00:30]
While the priests prepared hammers and nails[00:00:36]
And the carpenters and planed[00:00:43]
The nuns nodded knowing to sentence a sinner[00:00:52]
Is justice and law of the same[00:00:59]
In the cobblestone streets of the village[00:01:24]
The hawkers and mongers are wagging their tongues[00:01:31]
With sly smiles of insinuation they watch her[00:01:41]
And talk of the ensuing fun[00:01:49]
Her beauty defilement[00:01:58]
She will now pay for this crime of lust[00:02:02]
The monks in the towers are pealing the bells[00:02:13]
To remind the people that they must[00:02:21]
And the carrion crows are arriving in droves[00:02:45]
As the sun sets to pick the bones clean[00:02:53]
And the clowns stand around and they stare at the ground[00:03:04]
And they secretly weep at the scene[00:03:12]
In the rectory the priest laughs[00:03:20]
And let's the wine drip down his vest[00:03:23]
He calls and caresses his lover who laughs[00:03:33]
As he wipes his mouth on his chest[00:03:40]
The widows and virgins at watch in the window[00:05:24]
As sinners are purged down bellow[00:05:33]
No willows will weep for her silence of ashes[00:05:42]
Will sleep in the new-fallen snow[00:05:51]
