Creature Feature - Here There Be Witches Lyrics






Here there be witches on the edge of town
Cast them in water to see if they drown
Cleanse them with fire to burn them down
Bury their bones in hallowed ground.

Here there be witches on the edge of town,
Cast them in water to see if they drown
Cleanse them with fire to burn them down
Bury their bones in hallowed ground.
Here there be witches on the edge of town

Here there be witches on the edge of town
Can't you hear their cries?
Press them with stones to see if they lie
Sever their heads and gouge out their eyes
Recite your prayers in the dead of night.
Here there be witches on the edge of town
Can't you hear their cries?

Demons on the prowl we must make a stand
Black souled devil spawn inhabit this land
The unpure of heart will fall by your hand.
Here there be witches, save our
souls have been lost and the panic grows.
spells cast over blood and broken bones,
An evil stronger than we've ever known.
Here there be witches and all must die.

Here there be witches and they must be slain,
Cut of their flesh and they feel no pain.
Shackle their hands with sanctified chains,
Snip out their tongues before they speak your name
Here there be witches and they must be slain

Demons on the prowl we must make a stand
Black souled devil spawn inhabit this land
The unpure of heart will fall by your hand.
Here there be witches, save our
souls have been lost and the panic grows.
spells cast over blood and broken bones,
An evil stronger than we've ever known.
Here there be witches and all must die.

Unholy hexes, dark incantations
Our days are numbered, just sacrificial lambs
Depraved and corrupted agents of darkness
Chosen by the black mark of the beast.
Archaic volumes, forbidden writing
Blood ceremonies, Sermons for the damned
This curse must be lifted before the full moon
or we're all just meat for the feast

Demons on the prowl we must make a stand
Black souled devil spawn inhabit this land
The unpure of heart will fall by your hand.
Here there be witches, save our
souls have been lost and the panic grows.
spells cast over blood and broken bones,
An evil stronger than we've ever known.
Here there be witches and all must die.

Creature Feature Here There Be Witches Comments
  1. C.... M....

    I really like this song. It's nice keep it up

  2. S.... b....

    shout out to the witches listening to this song! blessed be!!

  3. L.... B....

    What did the witches even ACTUALLY do?? As far as I can tell, they just live on the edge of town. There's no mention of what specific spells they supposedly used, and there's no REAL PROOF that the witches are Devil-worshippers or out to cause pain and misery.

    So what did the witches ACTUALLY do??

    L.... B....

    And there's no proof they're actually witches ;). welcome to Salem, where superstition and paranoia is the judge, jury, and executioner. that's the point of the song.

  4. M.... D....

    Play it on 2x speed

  5. L.... B....

    What did these supposed witches even do? The lyrics never say what exactly they did to deserve all this torture, death, and agony. So what did they do?

  6. N.... N....

    When it's october 33rd but no one wants to be spooky with you anymore

  7. D.... C....

    But I'm a witch >.>

  8. D.... T....

    Arthur Miller be like

  9. G.... G....

    this is the best song to play at halloween

  10. I.... B....

    Me:White witches deserve to LIVE
    *Long Silence*
    ......

    Sister: They deserve To BURN

  11. A.... H....

    Wait a minute... *gasp* The song is about the salem witch trials isn't it!?!?

  12. B.... C....

    What if burning mediwitches to then bury their anguished remains in hallowed grounds were some dark ritualistic attempt at spreading evil into the flow of power of nature?

    Spooky dooky.

  13. G.... A....

    Just a quick rewrite I did of some of the latter verses here, taken from the point of view of a so-called “witch” in this situation...

    Demons on the prowl, we must make a stand
    Black-souled Devil spawn invading our land
    The unpure of heart have come forth at last
    Here we be ‘Witches,’ save our souls

    (Souls) have been lost, and the panic grows,
    Prayers over blood and our broken bones
    An evil stronger than we’ve ever known
    “Here there be witches and all must die!”

    With ‘holy’ hexes,
    Like dark incantations
    Our days are numbered,
    Just sacrificial lambs!
    Depraved and corrupted
    Agents of their Lord
    Chosen by
    The accursed priests!

    Archaic verses,
    Forbidden writing,
    Blood ceremonies,
    Sermons though we’re ‘damned!’
    Like a curse we’ve been gifted
    We’ll die by the full moon
    Our pain is just
    Profit to reap!

    (In the time before Salem, the older witch hunts, I’m pretty sure few could read and fewer still were allowed to read the Bible - “archaic verses, forbidden writing,” much? And of course, I’m sure the people doing the actual witch hunting were doing it for profit or clout or both. Just a bit of insight into my word choice, if anyone cares. May have some of the history mixed up here, though, it happens, so feel free to correct me on this.)

  14. O.... N....

    I'm goth and I love this song

  15. J.... S....

    Arcane and morbid. I like.

  16. C.... M....

    I love the line “press them with stones to see if they lie” in reference to the man who was crushed to death during the time of the Salem Witch Trials.
    I mean I guess the whole song is a reference to the Trials but this specific detail was my favorite lmao

  17. B.... l....

    Three month till witching time!

  18. L.... A....

    The sad bit is that stuff like this ACTUALLY happened. Glad the witch trials are LONG over because im rather wierd (according to others) and would most likley have been a victim if i'd lived in that time. I have slight autism which may or may not be a factor idk

    L.... A....

    I heard some people believed, humans with green eyes were witches and killed them. I have green eyes :D

    L.... A....

    @Mary Ann i have blue eyes

  19. A.... D....

    It is Just me or this song remember Novigrad of The witcher 3 wild Hunt?

  20. S.... B....

    The song gives me chills I love it Haha

  21. K.... D....

    This song makes the Salem Witch Trials sound like an action movie plot.

  22. K.... A....

    Ugh i can't find it in 1 hour that isn't freaking nightcore

  23. R.... ....

    A plot twist in music form. Well done undead friends.

  24. T.... ....

    No one was burned in the IRL witch trials.
    No one was drowned either.
    The stones one actually happened, but was intended to be interrogation. The guy just refused to quit.
    Everyone else was hung

    T.... ....

    Witch trials actually happened outside of Salem as well.

  25. S.... t....

    I feel like whenever I here this tune, I HAVE to crack an evil grin... anyone else?

  26. M.... R....

    me: listens to this in study hall
    person: walks by and rips my headphones out of my computer
    *song saying to bury a person in hallowed ground rings through the dead silent study hall*

  27. S.... C....

    I've fallen down the rabbit hole of music I've listened to when I was emo and I don't mind sksksk

  28. m.... g....

    still gonna like cause the decs. but like, as a wiccian idk oof

  29. s.... 5....

    Best song of all time

  30. B.... G....

    Witches are bad and when they get to hexing, who are you gonna call?

    B.... G....

    Ghost busters? xD

  31. C.... A....

    this song makes me want to go to the woods dressed in a long black cape with chalk and black candles at full moon to summon the dark beast - HA curtis, lets see who will sever whose head and gouge out their eyes

  32. H.... P....

    Ok, guys, I understand most of the allusions to the witchhunt here, but I don't understand the line "Press them with stones to see if they lie"
    Can somebody explain it for me?

    H.... P....

    Hell's Princess think it’s a reference to stoning a medieval punishment were people basically pelted you with rocks till you died or confessed

    H.... P....

    @The bong Druid of mammoth weed mountain Okay. Thanks.

    H.... P....

    Actually there was a man whose name was Jiles something, they put him between two boards and stacked stones on top of him until he confessed that he practiced witchcraft. He died and wasn't a witch.

  33. H.... P....

    Shadowhunters: Are we a joke to you?

  34. H.... P....

    People: If we burn them alive, they'll be gone for good!
    Demons and witches that controlled fire: Haha okay!

  35. H.... P....

    Other witches/people accused of being witches: Oh no! I don't want to burn!
    Wendolyn the Weird: WHOOO!!!! LET'S DO THIS!!! *Gets herself caught on purpose in multiple disguises multiple times*

  36. S.... ....

    Backwater Gospel vibes, anyone?

  37. c.... s....

    This is beautiful...* drools*

  38. G.... P....

    Here there be witches on the edge of town
    Cast them in water to see if they drown
    Cleanse them with fire to burn them down
    Bury their bones in hallowed ground.

  39. Q.... ....

    I remember refreshing youtube while waiting for this song to come out. 4 years later and this song is still a jam. I haven’t listened to creature feature for a year or two, I gotta get back into them because I forgot how good they were.

  40. M.... R....

    For some reason, this is actually sad; not only for its mournful tone, but I think it's also a sequel to "Wake the Dead" (Which is also in the album, "American Gothic"). Plus, I learned that some of the victims who were accused for witchcraft are actually nice, innocent people. My advice is listen to "Wake the Dead" and then this, and you'll see what I'm talking about (You might even cry as well).

  41. L.... V....

    💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

  42. P.... T....

    There be witches 'round these parts

  43. K.... K....

    there needs to be more witches songs there's not enough nor are there's enough vampire or werewolf songs?

  44. B.... D....

    Amazing

  45. A.... A....

    Interesting song to hear as a Wiccan lol

  46. E.... _....

    Explaining the Salem witch trials but in a song!!

  47. I.... d....

    4 years later, still good af.

  48. K.... ....

    This would make a great duet piece between a witch and a witch hunter if you separate the lyrics right.

  49. M.... T....

    Smash bros players fighting bayo be like

  50. B.... ....

    So many hippies complaining about fictional witches.

  51. B.... ....

    So many devil sympathisers here. When a devil spawn tries bringing forth evil spirits and demons into this world it is our duty to cleanse the earth

  52. S.... S....

    I like how the lyrics by themselves would originally be very Christian, but the music in the background and melody really make you realize that this is cruel and terrible. Not evil *witches* , evil witch *hunters* .

  53. A.... L....

    how the hell has no one made an umineko amv with this song??

  54. b.... ....

    My favorite song by y'all

  55. L.... S....

  56. B.... B....

    My teacher have us pick a song to play while we work and this is 8 th garde. When it was my turn, I pick this and it was the first time that someone pick a song ( beginning of the school year. ) So yeah, first song of the years is a “ burn the witch “ song. 😑

  57. F.... Y....

  60. G.... L....

    Hör den Song in Dauerschleife und beobachte Jugendliche, die Fische mit Brot anlocken, mit Käschern fangen und vertrocknen lassen. Die Menschen sind grauenhaft !

  61. D.... W....

  65. t.... .....

    This song reminds me of the Salem witch trials...I like it.

  66. t.... c....

    *I'm a Witch*

  67. s.... r....

    This song really makes me sad about the history my town has. It’s the town that killed the most people for “being witches”. I love this song a lot tho.

  68. F.... N....

    I recently found out about this band through Spotify, which is strange considering I had been listening to dark cabaret songs. Regardless, I rather like the style of the band, especially for this song.

  69. G.... ....

    Christian fellas when they see Wiccans like;

  70. G.... ....

    Leave it to Creature Feature to be the guy who laughs at everything then one day is serious enough to shut the whole room up

  71. M.... ....

    the number of folks not on the Wyrding Way is TOO DAMN HIGH!

  72. J.... H....

    Catghost, anyone?

  73. C.... E....

    I love everything about this song.

  77. J.... L....

    Here there be flees and they must be slayed

  78. E.... ....

    >people in the comments section implying Wicans are witches and not a bunch of magic groupies in a group invented by a guy who kept getting kicked out of black magic clubs because all he did was hit on women.

    E.... ....

    1/3 of your username describes you.

  84. D.... ....

    I love this song so much, but... 6 minutes???

  85. L.... C....

    Me: I love this

    Friend: T.T wtf is Wong with you.

  86. D.... ....

    I heard this song ages ago, and after searching for like two hours, I finally found it!

  87. V.... P....

    Here there be bitches

  88. V.... A....

    Humans are the real monsters.

  89. A.... F....

    I once accidentely said bitches instead of witches 😂omg

  90. P.... ....

    "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters", anyone? :D

  91. A.... H....

    I find this sliiiiightly offensive, as I'm Wiccan, but it's still a badass song.

    A.... H....

    It’s obvious that the witches aren’t the evil in the song, but rather the christians hunting them.

  92. m.... ....

    i doubt anyone cares, but since i've seen complaining about the song- this song is highly likely referencing the witch hunts in salem. i love creature feature so i may seem biased, but i highly doubt they meant to offend any pagans/wiccans. i am one as well that practices witchcraft, but it clearly states in the description of this video "but are the hunters themselves the true evil?"

    m.... ....

    Agreed. Christians are the heartless ones.

    m.... ....

    madi Christianity needs to die.

  93. E.... ....

    Monty Python 😂😂

  94. R.... 0....

    Glad to know what is thought of my people 😭

    R.... 0....

    Christians are truly sinister.

  95. C.... E....

    This is such a great band!! amazing music
