Screams of horror fill the air
As you watch the woman burn
That is where you will be
Next to burn for your sins
The sins you didn't even commit
Ropes tie your arms behind your back
Burning flesh is the scent that waves through the crowd
From all around cheers consume you
Watching in horror mouth gaping open
The woman's beautiful features
Become nothing more than ash
You get shoved forward
Forward to your stake
What a cruel fate
They douse you in oil
And place the hay
Cheers again fill the air
This time for you
They will enjoy watching you burn
Tears flow down your face
As the match is lit
The hay catches fire
And soon you do too
Agony is the last thing you feel
What a terrible way to leave the living
A cruel way to enforce the death penalty
Fire crawls up your arms and you scream
You scream until you can scream no more
The air goes deathly silent
All except the crackling of fire
