A frenzy of witch hunts took place in Europe during the 16th and 17th Century, where it is estimated over 60, 000 innocent men, women and children were put to death, due to Christian ignorance superstition and bigotry......
.Anne Whittle was one unfortunate soul, who was persecuted and murdered at this time, in Pendle, Lancashire , England., along with nine other women..She was 80 years old, and almost blind, when she was hanged...
This song is for all those people, who have been persecuted throughout the ages, and for those who are sadly, still persecuted today, for simply being different, misunderstood and not being what the considered 'Norm' of society expect.....
LYRICS
Where do you go,Anne Whittle, when they look at you
Is it to your forest,where, the ferny potions brew
And do you have a secret, that you'd like to tell
Or is it just the ancient trees, that hear your chants so well.
So, Anne Whittle, have you heard what they say of you
And will your tongue be cursed for them
Though they know not of the harm they do
And there'll be darker days to come for sure, darker days for sure
Be ready with the book of God, when they knock upon your door
Darker days to come Anne Whittle, darker days for you
Will the devil cut the rope, when the noose is tight round you.
So, Anne Whittle, will your blackened , blind eyes cry,
When you near the gallows, shall you swing or shall you fly
And who, Anne Whittle, will cleanse your mortal soul,
Shall you beg for forgiveness..
Or lie in your hellish hole
