Electric Wizard – I, The Witchfinder

• 0
  General Comment:I love this song, like I do with all Electric Wizard songs. But basically, this is an obvious song about "Mark of the Devil" and witch hunting in general. The lyrics;
  
  "Torture, my pleasure, true servant of the dark
  True servant of the dark"
  
  show that the people who condemned and tortured the so called "Witches" were the real servants of the dark (Satan). I like this lyric passage the most in the song because it's very true, the people who think are servants of the Devil are the real evil ones for killing the them, the innocent women.

  General Comment:I think this song is about how Witch hunters would accuse just about anyone of being a witch, and go out of their way to prove it. In Salem, Massachusetts, they would look for a weird mark on your skin (Called the "Devil's mark") which meant that you were a witch. If they didn't find the mark they would torture people to get them to confess. In the end, it was all pointless murder and pain, which I think is the point EW is trying to make.

  General Comment:I think the line is actually "My conviction of sorcery will leave you dead" because, historically, if you confessed to being a witch they didn't kill you, they rehabilitated you. And, in "The Mark of The Devil" no one confessed to being a witch. That was the whole problem in the movie, no one confessing.

    You're a fucking idiot.
    
    They didn't fucking rehabilitate anybody, what they fucking did was BURN THE WITCHES.
    
    Unless, of course, you're a motherfucking religious prick. Burning and fucking killing is the only goddamn religion those fuckheads know.
