Quand le jour s’achève
Sur le monde ici bas
Quand la lune est ronde
Il y a des ombres
Mêlées à mes pas
Des tapis de brume

On dit que je serai pendue
Avant septembre
On dit mon âme perdue
Privée des anges

Elisabetha
Elisabetha

Quand la nuit s'achève
Dans la cage où je dors
Quand le soleil monte
Il y a des hommes
Qui me montrent du doigt
Qui hurlent à la honte

On dit que j'ordonne au ciel
Quand la pluie tombe
On dit je suis le mal
Je suis la sombre

Elisabetha
Elisabetha

Elisabetha
Elisabetha

Elisabetha
Elisabetha

    Song Meaning:From the booklet :
    "1692, Salem, Massachusetts. Dozens of people are found guilty of witchcraft : maidens whisper in a mysterious tongue, hide underhandly, and wander around... In the surrounding parishes, 300 people are arrested and tried.
    Many of these so-called witches and wizards are thus put to jail, tortured, some are even hung, in an inquisitive atmosphere.
    Heightened puritanism, Satanism, mass hysteria, shamanism from the nearby indian tribes : fear and confusion prevade. Many farmers flee from the cursed villages, harvests are left rotting on the stalk...
    Among the accused, a woman named Elizabeth Proctor was arrested, tried and set free, by a miracle. She inspired me to write this song."
