A Flicker of Flame

In the shadows of the Moon's soft glow
There lived a witch, feared by all below
With spells and potions, she weaved her art
But to the townsfolk, she was a blackened heart

They whispered curses, cast their stones
Fearing powers they've never known
But in her eyes, a flicker of flame
For she knew she was not to blame

They dragged her forth to the town's square
Accusations flying through the air
She stood defiant, facing her fate
A trial by fire, sealed her hate

They whispered curses, cast their stones
Fearing powers they've never known
But in her eyes, a flicker of flame
For she knew she was not to blame
They whispered curses, cast their stones
Fearing powers they've never known
But in her eyes, a flicker of flame
For she knew she was not to blame

As the pyre was set ablaze
She raised her voice in defiance's blaze
Judge me not by fear's cruel throng
For in my heart, I've done no wrong!

They whispered curses, cast their stones
Fearing powers they've never known
But in her eyes, a flicker of flame
For she knew she was not to blame
They whispered curses, cast their stones
Fearing powers they've never known
But in her eyes, a flicker of flame
For she knew she was not to blame

So let this be a cautionary tale
Of those who judge, whose hearts do fail
