The Burner Video (MV)

The burner in the forest
Chopped up trees for coal
His eyes were black and the money he earned
Was as lousy as his soul
Late one night eight strangers
Who'd lost their way to town
Were looking for a shelter
When they came upon his house
The burner said: 'Don't worry,
My barn will suit you fine'
With his eyes on all their purses
He gave them hay and wine
He waited for the men to sleep
Then sneaked in with a knife
And cut their throats wide open
In the wink of an evil eye
Burner, burn away
The devil never sleeps, it only seems that way
Burner, burn away
The devil is all ears for what you're 'bout to say
But the burner never noticed
The smallest one's escape
Who'd run to town, alarmed the scouts
Who soon were on their way
The whole town quickly gathered
And smoked the burner out
With a noose around his neck
He sermonized the crowd:
'The dead may proof I'm guilty
My innocence I plead
Or the devil himself may drag me down
In perpetuity'
His words were barely spoken
When the ground began to shake
Out of the mud seven fists rose up
With a hellhound in their wake
It dragged the coal man by his limbs
And in a straight line ran away
Yeah, death gave birth to Seven Hills
And Eternal Lane
Burner, burn away
If you call upon the devil he will stake his claim
Burner, on your way
Down to hell where you'll rot away
Children, turn away
Death is living
In those hills today
Children, be afraid
The devil is waiting
In Eternal Lane
Children, say after me
Evil is spelled
With a capital D
Mama, write with me
Evil is spelled
With a capital D
