๐ฅ 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 โWitches Of Salemโ, 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.
โThis 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,โ explains Byford โthey werenโt โwitchesโ more than just unfortunate women really, blamed for everybodyโs 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 sheโd told him to piss-off, so heโd declare that she was a witch. And once a person was declared a witch, I donโt think there was any way back from that; very few of them were found innocent.โ

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
Theyโre 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
Thereโs 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
Theyโre hungry for the kill
Woe betide the woman
Who doesnโt 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 didnโt matter what you say
They wonโt 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
Theyโre hungry for the kill
