[Verse 1: Tim Skold & Sascha Konietzko]
Bolt of lightning
Out of the blue
Without forewarning
The heat is on you
Watch what you say
The phone may be tapped
Under heavy surveillance
Looks like you're trapped
Under investigation
Whether guilty or not
Without your own doing
You're part of the plot
Trying to hide
Going underground
Just a matter of time
Until you will be found
[Chorus: Tim Skold]
Witch hunt! Guilty by association
Witch hunt! Systematic defamation
Witch hunt! Process of elimination
Witch hunt! Demonized and sacrificed
[Verse 2: Tim Skold & Sascha Konietzko]
The noose is tightening
There's no return
Moral cleansing
Free thinking must burn
This is serious
Your face in the mud
The end of the story
Is written in blood
Freeze! Down on your knees!
Beaten and bound
Tarred and feathered
They parade you around
The media is feasting
Your face on the news
It's a feeding frenzy
A mob on the loose
[Chorus: Tim Skold]
Witch hunt! Guilty by association
Witch hunt! Systematic defamation
Witch hunt! Process of elimination
Witch hunt! Demonized and sacrificed
Witch hunt! Guilty by association
Witch hunt! Merciless interrogation
Witch hunt! Ill-reputed executed
Witch hunt! Which hunt?
Burn that witch!
[Bridge: Lucia Cifarelli, Tim Skold & Sascha Konietzko]
You've always been different
You've spoken your mind
Set yourself apart
Now they hate your kind
A foreign element
The unknown factor
An alien component
Hannibal Lecter
It doesn't matter
What you say or do
There is no justice
No future for you
Because you're the scapegoat
You are to blame
This is your life
15 minutes of shame
[Chorus: Tim Skold]
Witch hunt! Guilty by association
Witch hunt! Systematic defamation
Witch hunt! Process of elimination
Witch hunt! Demonized and sacrificed
Witch hunt! Guilty by association
Witch hunt! Methodical eradication
Witch hunt! Crucified by morning light
Witch hunt! Which hunt?
Burn that witch!
[Outro: Tim Skold & Sascha Konietzko]
It doesn't matter
What you say or do
There is no justice
No future for you
Because you're the scapegoat
You are to blame
This is your life
15 minutes of shame
