Ever Water by steph sweet
Written, performed, recorded and produced by steph sweet in England 2015

It is estimated that 5 million souls were murdered during the Burning Times. Not all of them followed the Old Religion, some were physically deformed or mentally ill or homosexual. Others were unfortunate enough to be envied, or lusted after, or wanted rid of. Others were slaughtered for their faith. Others were merely household animals.
If this had happened with another religion, these atrocities would be called genocide. There would be at least one national holiday, memorial arboretums and tributes would be offered in memory of the innocent dead.
And so this song is for those poor souls, those murdered, with all my love
Merry meet

O dear god not me, no not again.
See them come like crows, his henchmen.
See them come like dogs eager for the prey.
O dear god not me, no, not again.
Going down for a third time.
Going down for a third time.
O dear god not me, no not again.
For raping a witch, no man will ever hang.
O dear god not me.
But my god can’t hear me.
Going down for a third time.
Going down for a third time.
Ever water my grave.
See my breath like stars,
Hung out high above me.
Losing sight of the sky.
Bound and drowned for a third time.
Bound and drowned for a third time.
Bound and drowned for a third time.
Ever water over me.
Ever water over me.
Ever water……
