Witch
Written by Karliene Reynolds (2017)
- | LYRICS |-
We dance to the beat of the flames
And we know all of your names
We corrupt you with our beauty
We castrate you when we’re old and ugly
Ooh
We dance with the Devil
Ooh
We’ll make you tremble
Ooh
You best be careful
And you say confess ( confess)
To the evidence
You’re a foul heathen
A demon of malevolence
Venomous bitch
Old witch
You’re the reason for all our sins
And he cries confess ( confess)
Vile succubus
How you beguiled
And defiled my innocence
You’re a bitch
You’re a witch
You’re the reason for all my sins
Burn the witch
Burn the witch
Burn the witch
Burn the witch
And you cry confess ( confess)
Old sorceress
How you bring the rain and the plague
And my impotence
You’re a bitch
You’re a witch
And we cannot suffer you to live
Burn the witch…
(Instrumental)
And you say confess ( confess)
To the evidence
You’re a foul heathen
A demon of malevolence
Venomous bitch
Old witch
You’re the reason for all our sins ( x2)
Burn the witch
Burn the witch
Burn the witch
Burn the witch - Hudba
Dearest Karliene, what in the world could have ever possessed you to create something so gorgeously dark and awesome (again)?! The spirits of the witches condemned and those who were innocent called out to you, I believe, in some way. It’s perfect especially for this coming holiday of Samhain (All Hallows Eve). Keep making beautiful things girl
Sally Beth Thanks Sally. It was born from a lifelong obsession with witches and the witch trials in particular. I'm so glad you like it. It was a lot of fun to create 😁
@@Karliene My ancestor Susannah Martin was one of those accused during the Salem Witch Trials. She was executed on my birthday July 19th. From what I read about her we are much the same in many ways. She wasn't a witch in her faith and practice but I am. Although she wasn't burned at the stake many innocent women and men were. Thank you for letting them speak through you.
It's time Hollywood stop putting us witches in a bad light and start showing us for who we truly are. We are keepers of the great mysteries. We are healers, We are the children of the Great Mother Goddess, the hidden Holy Spirit.
@@tarabrooks3760 I've always called witches "the daughters of the moon" idk, it's kinda of a feeling, while male witches are the sons of the sun. Can you tell me if there's anything in your culture which talks about the moon and the sun?
@@igotcheesewannabemypeppero3762 This is incredibly late and I'm not the person you were asking, but a lot of witchcraft involves the sun and the moon. Witchcraft in and of itself is a secular practice but is often used in other religions such as Wicca, and others use it in forming their own path, so really there are many cultures that can be incorporated in witchcraft. But yes, the sun and the moon, especially the moon, are very much incorporated in witchcraft.
@@tarabrooks3760 There were no people burned at the stake during the Salem Witch Trials. They were either hanged, drowned, or, in one case, pressed to death with heavy stones.
The line “we dance with the devil/you best be careful” reminds me of Game of Thrones when Tyrion told Joffrey “If I’m a monster, then perhaps you should speak more softly” (can’t remember the exact quote)
Monsters are dangerous and right now kings are dying like flies.. My favorite

Who?
I LOVE the power in this song! It's like a thousands of women have gathered together to taunt the people who are afraid of them for being different!
legogirl8 I was hoping it would be powerful kind of anthem. It was certainly fun and empowering to write and sing 🎶
Yeah
@@Karliene Sure.
They are not different, but wicked!
Love
This is *so* good - primal, dark, and rather predatory in a kind of mocking way (if that makes sense).
I'm also getting Frollo and Esmeralda vibes and it's just wonderful.
I felt the same)
Especially when they mention his impotence
I am not a witch, but i love occult things and this song. May the witches be blessed, you don't deserve to be treated this way!
Thankyou
From a witch- May you be Blessed your self abundantly 😍♥️♥️thankyou ma'am
I have to ask, was the mocking tone intentional? I assume it was, and it is perfect. Weak-minded people will always need a scapegoat for their faults, rather than admitting them, and this song wonderfully encapsulates that concept.
Alyssa Woodring Absolutely, you got it in one 🙂
Back then it was odd ball people or women in particular that we blamed and murdered for the wrongs in this world but it seems like humans will always look for a witches to burn. I believe we're still doing it to this day.
Karliene I can attest to that, what with all that's going on here across the pond.
Karliene yeah I also heard the mocking like they are listing things they have been blamed for and the witches are laughing mocking the crimes. Like yes we totally to blame
The song is a true portrait of projection. The accusers deny their own guilt and scapegoat the accused instead.
As a descendant of an accused, I thank you for this. Even though she wasn't executed and was eventually pardoned, I still feel strong ties to the event. She was accused of shapeshifting because a pig was seen leaving her house every night. I feel for the victims and their families. I'm actually leaving for Salem tomorrow. So, thank you for this Karliene, huge fan. Also, love to the other descendants.
Blessed are the witches
AMEN.
Thank you.
Blessed be sister
Blessed be sister
Blessed be, sister. 🌒🌕🌘
This reminded me about a documentary I saw on Netflix about Witch hunts. There was this poor old woman who's only crime was being crabby and a loner, so of course, the towns people accused her of witchcraft and hung her...
On a lighter note, I really enjoyed the song, beautifully done, and it got me excited for Halloween :) thanks, Karliene!
I'm now going to hunt Netflix for that documentary. I hope it's featuring on our Australian one. It sounds fascinating
Karliene oh hey! In case you haven't found it yet, it's called "Witches: A Century of Murder". It has two parts to it, and I found it very interesting.
That documentary was way too short, I wish there were longer more in depth shit on the subject on Netflix.
The oldest victim of the Salem witch trials was actually a relative of mine I think that’s so cool
The first victim of The Salem Witch Trials was a very liked woman whose crime was owning her own business (which women did not do at the time) and she loved wearing bright colors like red (another thing women of her kind did not do). I feel like if you thi k about The Witch trials and aren't angry you aren't paying attention to history.
This is deliciously primal and encapsulates the treatment of “witches” in the not-too distant past so perfectly. I LOVE the chanting and your voice throughout this song. Wickedly festive. Excuse me while I go dance in the woods now. 💜 (Also, we’re on the same wavelength with our Halloween songs again this year - I’ve written an original witch song too, haha! Dang it.)
Thanks so much sweets!!
I'm so, so loving your comment and can't wait to hear your own witchy song. I'll be keeping an eye on your channel now for the release. I love your original work. xx
@Ashley Serena @Karliene two legends together in the comments?! Golly XD
Because 400 years is not-too-distant
@@fandomtrash6016 My mother was accused of worshiping the devil in front of the rest of the neighboors community meeting or however it's called in english (when neighboors meet monthly to discuss the state of the building they all live in). If they had a torch, they will have burn her right there. Luckily some of us (not many) where there to defend her. And my sister was exorcised in her school (was not catholic, BTW, it was a normal, every day public school) by a priest and with the school's principal and her math teacher, without us knowing, obviously, because saying witchy stuff. Tied to a chair, in an empty class. That happened in 2013. Is that not-too-distant past for you?
I just Love You ❤️ You are simply the Best
This song has a Egyptian vibe to it, I'm especially impressed with how this song feels "tailored", one line flows into another in a pattern that quickly becomes familiar.
Amazing.
I always felt this song had a Celtic vibe to it.
We are the daughters of witches you could not burn, and the reborn souls of the ones you did. And we remember.
Yes we are!!❤❤❤❤
This made me cry. It just sounds so angry and vengeful. Its probably exactly what my ancestors felt, and how I feel now. I LOVE love love that beginning. It frightened me from how angry it sounds. This is such a beautifully designed song.
As a witch I must say I absolutely adore this song
Me too
I couldn't agree more something roaring with delight in me😁
Same
🖤
Same
Reminds me of the movie The Witch.
Wouldst thou like to live... *deliciously*?
That movie sucked lol
@@AdoreYouInAshXI I- it was different than what I expected. I thought more sacrifices and more ...activity instead I got a very slow movie.
I really loved that movie
I liked the slow boil of the movie
Laura Gilbert I agree. The slow boil really added an element of being there in the moment
I love the lyrics. I feel that they can really relate to the war women still face.
There's a war on?
In honour of Halloween/Samhain I think this is my new favourite Witchy Song!! WELL Done!!!
Thanks so much Sarah :-)
Okay I gotta say I was scared to listen to this at first but damn this is haunting and it riles me up like crazy.
For generations there have been witches in my family, in fact until 80 years ago, the old witches of my family would bless newborn babies and foretell their destinies with scary accuracy.
They said that their lineage would turn away from the "mirror of the fire among the trees" whatever that means.
Now, we've been distanced from the old ways (like they said) but something in me whispers for me to embrace my lineage, my nature...
It scares me but I'm irresistibly drawn to something I can't explain.
Anyway, beautiful song! You and Ashley Serene have the most beautiful voices on CZcams.
My linagae is from salem and we still practise the art of witch craft but not blood witchcraft thats never good and can draw evil spirits into your house or body
@@aidenhutchinson508 It really depends in my experience. If you are using a dab of your own blood as an offering to the Gods is safe in my experience IF you are experienced, you know what Gods you are dealing with and a few other precautions. I would never advise a person to allow their blood to be accessible to others 99.99% of the time. That is when bad to deadly things can happen. I too was raised in the Old Ways and am continuing this with my daughter. I am from Germany originally and I empathize with your ancestors who were tortured and killed in Salem. There is a memorial in the town of my childhood in Germany to the victims of the Witchhunts. I have never been to Salem but I imagine there is something similar there as well. It is important to remember that most of them only confessed in order to end their torture and suffering beyond comprehension. The only evil was in the minds and hands of the inquisitors. They were the true evil. I am saying this not directly at you but instead to others reading this who imagine witches are what the church wanted people to think. Unfortunately, the Witchhunts continue today in many parts of the world but it is not something most people know about.
@@aidenhutchinson508 I did want to add that I was not disagreeing with you but simply adding my experience and input.
@Prince Finley I believe that what you were seeing were those who have crossed over. I would discuss the Pagan/ Pre-christiqn origins of the Christian's Virgin Mary, but IMHO most Christians would simply refuse to listen and those who are pagan already know. I would suggest you do a Google search if you wish to learn more. I wish you all the best either way.... ,( Btw, anyone reading this who replies to my comment by nasty comments, be advised that I am simply going to ignore them. Only intelligent debate will I respond to.)
@@yvonner913 hello, I just wished to thank you for helping me learn something new!
I confess to loving your songs. "Lament for Boromir" is still my favorite.
"Gollum's Song" is also one of the best.
"Dragon Queen" is my favorite for now ;)
Same, that or snow
Reminds me of the 3 witches from Macbeth
**Grade 9 English class flashbacks**
Had the same feeling, reminds me my BAC francais where we studied a bilingual version of it... it was for a French exam, and we had learnt the benefits and cons of a translation. Great masterpiece... and great song here today. Thanks Karliene
*GRADE 9,10 & 11 GERMAN CLASS FLASHBACK*
They are also mentioned in German class as they are often referenced in German poems from the 19th century :D
Makes me think of Rowena in Supernatural. And the Weird sisters. Also Outlander.
me too :D Supernatural are the best !! :)
oh yeah Outlander , i see why.
Yes.
Heya guys. So if you remember the stunning, otherworldly music video for my song 'Wolfpack' (which you can find on my channel ) you'll remember Liza Nova who was the creative genius behind it. She's looking to do it all again with this track 'Witch' and I think it's going to be so fantastic. I've always loved the idea of bringing that particular song into the visual realm because who doesn't love witches?
Check out the video in which we let you know more about this cool film project and how you can help and be involved. It's going to be so much fun! x
czcams.com/video/y8crybs-Egg/video.html
Are you a Animist ?
This is such an awesome song. It’s like a message from history, the women who died innocent are expressing their anger and vengefulness through this song. They’re now “confessing” the accusations put onto them from before. I’m a witch myself and I’m lucky to be here now where it’s now socially acceptable.
I am writing this story, that for two types of witches, and your music always makes me come back for inspiration.
I love you so much for creating something so glorious. ♥
What is the story about, if you don't mind me asking?
Oh I was looking for some god music for a Samhain ritual and spell casting I am planning, and this is just perfect! Its earthy and raw and wicked and ethereal and I love it!
It reminds me of "The Crucible". I love it.
I love that play and the movie with Daniel Day Lewis. I may have to dig that one out. It's been a while since I watched it.
I played John Proctor in the School version I did for A-Level... damn i needed this song for then bwhahah I love the Crucible, such a good movie and play :P
Winona Ryder is Bae...
I love that play! We did it at our school this past feburary. I really wish I had found this song earlier so I could've used it in the pre-show music.
Yeah, I love that movie as well and one of my favs.
I'm a lot more afraid of the people who burn witches, than the witches themselves.
That moment, when you're writing about burning of "witches" and Karliene uploads this phenomenal track x.x
...listen to this twice. 6:66...how bewitching
Long live the Old Gods!!
Eric Ward long live the Olympians and NeoHiemar (forgive my spelling) alike
You summoned me
Hail all the Aesir!
Indeed.
Blessed Be.
I genuinly hope you make more of these songs. Not only do I think it shows your talent, but I really believe it's perfect for musicals as well. You could be a really good musical songwriter imho which is a really special talent.
I'd pay to see this performed.
Im' addicted to this song on Spotify. I hope you'll release some songs you have here but not on Spotify there as well, as I listen to it almost every week now :)
Hagelslag Thank you 🙏 that means so much to me. I’ve got a bit of a musical theatre background so maybe that’s where it comes from?
It would be amazing to write music for a show.
Oh really? Whoa it's nice I apparently caught that haha. Had no idea. I really think you have huge potential. So I hope one day you'll be able to :)
Beautiful and witchy. Perfect.
Perfect song for the season. You are so amazing. Your music is just so amazing.
Thanks Eleanor :-)
I am a Witch, proud one in fact, and the way you brought up emotions and anger in me to what was done to the innocent during the Burning Times...I found myself cringing and wanting to cry...thank you for such a dark reminder of what we DO NOT want to go back to...
Who's still listening to this in the year of 2019?
Europeans who do not accept the matrix !!!
I just discovered it in 2019.
@@cinemacodey same here
I, who still practices The Old Ways, of Family Germanic, Viking Teachings....
2020 any one?
Id love to see the real lyrics from the begining where they speak that beautiful language 😍❤
Me too! I want to know what it is and what it says
This gives me The Witcher 3 vibes and I love it
Had this exact thought, particularly the scene when you enter Novigrad and see the guards execute those witches
Devasor Toussaint and the bruxae, what a charming place.
I absolutely ADORE this new song! Bewitching indeed, and so well written. The ethnic sounds are perfect for the atmosphere you created and I love it when you're using your "nasty voice" ! I have a weakness for witch legends and haunted forests...Oh I just love all that magic swarming into that smart mind of yours - thank you so much for letting us catch a glimpse of that rare feeling of infinity and... fullness, and for reminding us that Halloween is only a month away! xx
My great aunt was a witch the only one in my family because of how Christian my family was she would never go to church and would go into the woods at night or at dusk but would never come out during the day she even had old spell books that her mother gave to her and she would use her crystal ball and cards often and would mostly heal the family with herbs but unfortunately she died back in 1980 and i never got to meet her at all but i am practicing with herbs so i hope i make her spirit happy
I just downloaded this song from Amazon. This song is so delicious, dark & fun. It is the Witch in the woods dancing around the flames, conjuring! I LOVE it!!
Perfect for our special Samhain.
As a witch i love this well done.
I love this song so much!! It awakens a fire in me that I haven't felt in a long time. It sounds like all the witches who were burned are chanting together in the beginning. Thank you for singing this song!!! You are amazing!!!
Starts strange but as usual gets amazing. Love you ❤️
The beginning scared me
It's the beautiful lost language of the angels
This song speak so much to my inner witch so much I cannot describe it. Maybe because in one of my past lives I was, apparently, a Witch (or so they thought)
Karliene, my dear, ever since I started listening to your music I’ve wondered about how cool it would be if you released some official instrumentals of your songs (ie the background music). For things like karaoke and such.
What a creepy halloween vibe this is giving me.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I love the harmonies, the music, EVERYTHING.
Great job as always
Karliene your gifting this world with connecting to feeling, rhythm and story is important. You have a wonderful strong voice and range as well. Thank you. I see a parallel now in fear based attacking anyone. Societal trauma sparks fear and I think people don't realize that is what their reactions are or that it is simply our minds when in fight or flight. Fear based thinking is what has goaded them, nobody made them think or feel. No one needs to be killed to rid them of bad thoughts. We have some evolution work! Our instincts to know when born are not practiced and many of us lose them. We are amazing beings capable of intuition, deep feeling and thinking, great bravery and caring but our mind skips the frontal lobe and goes straight to fight or flight reaction. I hope we return to wisdom and healing.
Dear Karliene, I've been listening to you for years, but this song in particular has been cathartic every time I replay it. I feel anger, but also power, and more than anything a smile growing on my face as I chant and sing along with you. Thank you for this absolute masterpiece...
I wrote my graduate work about the laws connected with witch hunting. I like the way in which you show that you know the history.
AS a modern day witch this gives me goose bumps,
As a Solo practicing Wiccan in the Bible belt I can relate to this, when they ask me what my religion is and I tell them I have actually have had people take a few steps back and ask me why I worship the devil . I then have to explain to them that in my religion the devil doesn't even exist. Anyway lovely song it really made me think of the Salem witch trials
Zabrina Knapp fun fact about the trials. Lots of people where high on mushrooms found nearby that they ate😂
I'm lhp in missouri 🤣 it's not as bad as it use to be. Not one " witch" was killed in salem they were all unfortunate victims of hate and misinformation from hysteria.
Living in the South coming out of the broom closet has been hard. My sister laughed in my face when I was cleansing and blessing something I was going to collect water in. She encouraged her son to do it too. It hurt so much. I can't imagine what witches of old went through.
I'm not Wiccan but I feel our stories may have some mirrors. I study herbs and practice divination. I work with my ancestors and strive to learn protection magick. Nothing evil about me lol. They should try my cleansing bath blends. Might chill them out.
That's where who takes it literally but what about this song appearing in ring in 21st century when it was just aint misogynistic slur. Do a skip go the woman. What if women have not literally picked up your practice how would they feel about this song?
Love the lyrics and story... The song has soul... Love it... The primal tunes give it a whole new level of beauty... Well done... Keep making more like this (Music that ain't mainstream lovesongs...)
Time for the season of witch 🖤💖🖤
Not a witch myself but I am obsessed with occult things and whatever stuff related to it. This song is an EMOTION for me❤❤
2020 and this is still amazing
As a witch I really enjoy the thought of a whole coven having gathered, the people who usually just talk to leaves and touch rocks, to taunt all the hating townsfolk
I need 10 hours vid of Karliene's music 😍
Perfect song for October
Blessed witches, I send love for my sisters!
I send love back to you, sister
Blessed be sister
@@tanjailalovic4662 blessed be
Many blessings for my witch siblings!
Blessed be
I need more witch vibes in my life. ❤️
This is a favorite and it's definitely a timeless song 🎵 Blessed be my fellow witches. 🌼
Yeah...I love Hansel and Gretel movies but I love how powerful the witches shows their strength. This is enchanting in its own way. I love it!
Thank you so much for including lyrics both in the video and the description! I'm Hard of Hearing but I love your music and those little details help deepen my enjoyment so much!
this is perfect. love this song!
I have watched this so many times... I love it more than words can say.
Incredible song. Its been stuck in my head for days.
Reminder everyone! Everyone believes what they believe, do not try to change someone's beliefs because they don't think what you think. Some are Aethiests, Christians, Pagans, practitioner of the craft, Satanists, Catholics, Jewish, Buddhists, Agnogists, and more. This is a great song, but please do as ye will. Blessed night.
Never heard this song before. Karliene that intro was boss. I absoulty love your music. My heritage is Irish and Scottish so anytime I get to hear music like this makes me feel like I'm there with em in Ireland.
Omg. thats Awesome. I love it. My Wife gonna like this to. She Is a Witch ;-) I let her hear when she wake up. She was waiting for a song like this. Am gonna have a good day. Thats fore sure. Its a amazing song.
I'm so happy. I hope she likes it when she hears it :-)
I don't have words to say how I love you, your songs, and THIS song
I'm so glad CZcams recommended this! So enchanting and otherworldly!
I became a witch because of my love for witches and nature. I love your music :D
I absolutely love this song. You are a amazing song at capturing different kinds of songs and music.
I love this song so much literally my favourite!! I would love it if there were more songs just like this one!
For the love of god, this is the best song I've heard in a while. I am so glad to finally discover your amazing voice.
A gem in form of words, a true spell!
Gives me chills. Have been told by more than one that I was burned in a past life. I'm back.....and they can't touch me.
When I listen to this song, during the first verse I picture a women sitting in a court room quietly during Puritan times, while a man screams at her to confess. In the next verse I picture a mob marching her out into the woods. And in the final verse I can see them demanding she confess one last time while they hold the torch above her pyre. Can you tell I'm a writer and this song inspired me?
Yeah. I love the fact that it seams the witch is shouting her “accusations” in a sultry but angry sarcastic tone.
Except for one thing. Those executed during the Salem Witch Trials were just hung, not burned at the stake.
@@sgauden02 Yes. By that time I'm sure they weren't burning anybody at the stake anymore in England either, maybe not anywhere in Europe. But hundreds (or thousands?) were burned in previous centuries.
@@dontaylor7315 Yeah, but it wasn't just people accused of witchcraft either. It was anybody who didn't fit with the Roman Catholic Church. Meaning that all Protestants, Jews, Romani (Gypsies), Mystics, Witches, and even people believed to be werewolves. I'm also willing to bet that those within the church also knew full well that the majority of those people weren't actually guilty of anything, they were just were afraid of their power being undermined.
@@sgauden02 Also in many cases the accusers had ulterior motives for bringing charges. Sometimes the accused owned property the accuser wanted, and was in a position to acquire if the accused were put out of the way. Or the accuser had a personal animosity toward the accused for one reason or another.
It's that time of the year to permanent loop this song again.
One of my favorites ❤❤ love the point of view behind this.
Not only 2019 this wonderful music can be heard all the time 😍🧚♀️😍
Like always, you manage to capture the very soul of the subject, in your music.
I'm start to become a Witch and this music is totally my anthem. It's so powerful, beautiful, the lyrics are brilliant and your voice is amazing. Very good work 💜
This song gives me such a strong urge to just dance and scream the lyrics at the top of my lungs. It's so powerful!
Just love your music! Boudica and Anne Bonny are my favorites so far! Keep making beautiful music!
I never thought I hear such lyrics and have SO much enjoyment listening to this, very well written, great work.
I wish I knew what the language was at the beginning. Its beautiful
I can’t stop listening to this... I’m in love Karliene ❤️
Blessed be all of you sisters and brothers of the craft. 🖤👍🌛🌕🌜
If you’ve made a song that had to absolutely capture my passion for story, this is it. God, I’m absolutely enthralled! Fantastic piece, Karliene!
I'm so thrilled you like it :-)
This is mesmerizing!!!
dark, mystical, mystery and magical! each time, you amaze me more and more!
I feel at home with this song!! ❤
I seriously love this
that is great. I love this song
I absolutely love this.
I love this so much.
BEST HALLOWEEN SONG EVER X
