She cast a spell to defend her love
Offended by a knowledge unworthy of
The ecclesiastical fraudulence
Of modesty stolen through their violence
The townsfolk come to burn her home
Suspected as a witch and they’re not wrong
Burn the house with the witch inside
Spare the stake, and save ourselves some time
Abigail was never the one to turn the tide or set the sail
She screamed for mercy as her flesh burned to no avail
The mob outside could hear her pleas for sanity
They were more than willing to snuff their humanity
What we did, we did to protect our children
To save ourselves from the Devil’s Fate
To spare our men these lustful thoughts
And snuff the rivalry of women’s hearts
She casts a spell to exact revenge
Inhabits the soul of clueless young man
Oh, the gospels she will preach
To the underlings of a madman within her reach
Recruit a family of ruthless thugs
Build a following of fireflies
She’s taken the whole world in her hands
Slowly picking off the fiends abound
There’s a light on the other side of life
But none of us can see through the night
So we wander ‘round this life so aimlessly
Looking for causes that we can affect
Because nothingness is a fear we can’t reject
Dear Abby died for our sins
Not for our redemption’s sake
But only because our cowards had their way
And remember, young fireflies
Sister Abigail will always light the way
And all we’ll ever have to do
