One little girl with dirty fingers

Playing with broken doll

As the other girl is lying

Digging deep into the ground

They seem to play an evil game

A game that doesn't have a name

Both of them are in the ashes

At the stake where witches burn

If only they could see beyond the ground they play on

The girls are laughing still, they think they're having fun

They should be far away, watching the sun go down

One little girl picked up a necklace

From the ashes of the witches

It had wings and then the other

cried out loud "Now let me have it"

The other looked without a sigh

Right into the witche's eye

The kind of horror that she saw

Made her choke forevermore

I wish they could have seen beyond the ground they played on

They would be laughing still, having the best of fun

They would be far away watching the sun go down
