The Witch Perished in Flames - Carach Angren

She blacks out

When that question is asked by this vile animal

Nearly suffocating on her vomit

In front of the gloating cannibal

She awakes in the cage

Something has changed

Instead of fear her heart is filled with rage

Her existence now balancing on the edge of a knife

As long as the voice keeps whispering

She will stay alive

She is seriously considering suicide

There is no doubt

To kill herself is the only way out

«I will be butchered and buried like my brother

I’d rather cut my wrists just like my mother»

Powered by a hatred she has never experienced before

She consumes fear and despair

Until she cares for suicide no more

And so the embittered girl starts thinking

Of ways to shove this witch into the oven

«I will not die as his slave

I’d rather die fighting, scared but brave»

All the doors and windows in this satanic abattoir

Are barricaded

But hey!

There is one way!

A damn small chance to escape

The front door can be unlocked with a key

Which is attached to the black baton

That the killer carries constantly…

To beat up his slave repeatedly

One night, when dinner time arrives…

As always the killer puts the baton on the table

Sitting comfortably, devouring his meal voraciously

He speaks:

«Come here, have no fear

Pour me some wine

You’ll be just fine»

That’s when she thinks:

This moment is mine!

Nervously walking towards him

Holding the fork behind her back

And whilst pouring the wine

She uses all her strength

To stab that fork deep into his neck

She smashes the bottle on his head

Yet before she can grab the key

He pulls everything off the table

Right before he hits the floor

A broken kerosene lantern

Leaking fuel causes a fire

That quickly spreads through the room

She picks up the key from the floor

Rushes to the front door

The killer drags himself forward

Gargling on his own blood

«Come back you fucking whore!»

She smiles and locks the door

She’s running through the woods

Finally free

But distracted by the screams of the burning witch

She runs fast, straight into a tree!
