The Crucible

It features bassist Nate Newton on vocals mixing with heavy vocals by Max in this slow-paced song. A reviewer from Rock Revolt Magazine said that, "Sludgy “The Crucible” is like metal molasses flowing through your ears." The lyrics is about witches from Salem.

Lyrics
The crucible... The crucible...

The tribal begins, hang the witch Spectral examination, crucial confession Madness! The floodgates are opened

Salem witch trials 1692 The whole city under voodoo Witches singing, forest breathing Slaves chanting and conjuring

Wonders of the invisible world The devil wash is servant Indians conversing with demons The September Executions

Burn the crucible, burn Burn the crucible, burn

Weird, wild chill in the night Possessed by evil spirits they rise Witchcraft signs shows in the sky Abigail lies, John proctor's deny

With wings of a fallen angel More than ordinary affliction Shining city on the hill Conspiracy machinery in motion

Burn the crucible, burn Burn the crucible, burn

The crucible... The crucible...

I won't sing this confession I will die for my actions I won't sign this confession Salem burns... Resurrection

The crucible...
