Burn the Sinner
MUSIC: Kaarlo Autio
LYRICS: Riina Laihomäki
I can tell you my whole story
but my name I can’t recall
They engraved it on the stone
when they buried me last fall
I lived my life here by the rails
didn’t ever see the shore
And they wouldn’t call me a widow
if it wasn’t for the war
(Now join us)
Let’s burn, burn the sinner down
Let’s burn, burn the sinner down
Raise your pitchforks, raise your fists
Grab your guns, your stones and sticks
Light your torches, burn that witch
Burn that sinner down
Hunting sinner, hunt her trails ‘til there’s
nothing left but a ghost on the rails
Nothing but a ghost on the rails
I may have lived my poor little life
against your divine law
I ain’t looking for salvation nor grace
or your prayers, those I abhor
I got my gaslight, my newborn son
and my dead mans forty-four
And you’ll repent all the deeds you have done
when I shall be no more
(Now join us)
Let’s burn, burn the sinner down
Let’s burn, burn the sinner down
Raise your pitchforks, raise your fists
Grab your guns, your stones and sticks
Light your torches, burn that witch
Burn that sinner down
Hunting sinner, hunt her trails ‘til there’s
nothing left but a ghost on the rails
Nothing but a ghost on the rails
Raise your pitchforks, raise your fists
Grab your guns, your stones and sticks
Light your torches, burn that witch
Burn that sinner down
Hunting sinner, hunt her trails ‘til there’s
nothing left but a ghost on the rails
Nothing but a ghost on the rails
Let’s burn
Let’s burn

The Gallows Dance Finland
Murder ballads, occult folk, melancholic duets, dark roots and black humour. The Gallows Dance brings old folk songs back to life, and keeps alive the tradition of story-telling with tales about death and sorrow, with an oddly cheerful twist. The gloomy atmosphere is combined with rattling chains, twangy banjo, screaming guitar, and harmonica. ... more

Here's to the Devil

I am not sure how to classify this & it really doesn't matter... :) This album is superb & filled with incredibly playful melodies & wicked humour - especially in the lyrics. The humour in the lyrics reminds me a little of a modern day Tom Lehrer even if the music is totally different but it is the playing with words & having a ton of fun while doing it that does it :) Thank you so much to tesla_666 for taking me here! I love it & highly recommend it!!!
