The silence lingers
The whole town hasn’t heard a sound
Did the women of Salem really dance around in the woods at night?
Why is Betty longing for flight?

We didn’t conjure the devil, sir
It was Tituba and her Barbados curse
I swear to you, Reverend Parris
We are innocent
And Betty will be fine
Tell the town, the devil is not here
For they fear
Their religion will die

Hale is on his way to debunk the mystery
To turn this phenomenon into history
Witches in Salem could be a possibility
