about

DATE: Tuesday, March 3, 1891

LOCATION: Walworth, London Borough of Southwark

SCENE: The ghost of Frances Coles visits the witness in a dream in the middle of the night. Overcome with guilt and fear for not having saved her life, he agrees to avenge her murder, fully realizing that he may meet his end as he pursues her killer. By submitting to the spirit’s demonic desires, he agrees to surrender his soul to her as proof of his fealty to her desperate cause. In the morning, he wakes to find a contract detailing their witching-hour agreement signed in his own blood.

lyrics

I know why you’re here
The meaning is all too clear
A willing mind to sear
With demonic desires

I’m not filled with hate
An empty soul to take
To hang on a string as bait
When the behemoth calls

You sense my fear
That’s how you found me here
My weakness becomes your spear
The guilty will fall

The deal’s been made
It’s etched on your stony grave
Witness becomes the slave
To pay for it all

My eyes can see
The beauty in front of me
Bereft of divinity
Can’t deny you at all

We’ve become the same
One mind in a ruthless game
For this I will surely hang
To pay for it all

Hear me out
Why won’t you hear me out?
I can’t stand and fight
With whispers and moans

It’s all mixed up
It’s all mixed up
It’s all mixed up
