Gather ‘round and settle down  
For a story will unveil  
And stay says Maria  
With Adagio and Aria  
As we tell you a haunting tale
 
Welcome-come to our wonderful town  
Welcome-come we are humble and proud  
It’s the happiest place  
With a circular space!  
Where we all come together and sing  
La, la, la, la  
We be living in our pilgrim hats  
With our buildings thatched roofs  
You can chill, relax  
Cause nothing bad ever happens in this town  
Nothing bad ever happens in this town
 
But when the town goes to sleep  
You can hear the sound of something devious  
Of something quite mysterious  
Lurking in the dark
 
Do you have the knife?  
Yeah man tonight  
Someone’s gonna be mad in the afterlife  
Gotta be the cleanest dirt-nap the mafia class can bring  
And they won’t suspect a thing
 
Help help! The sheriff is dead!  
Either that or he’s really sleepy and red  
Well I was on the lookout and I saw those guys  
Sneak into his house at night!  
Lynch them all on sight!  
We’re innocent?  
All in favour of death say aye!  
We’ll sleep soundly tonight  
Cause nothing bad ever happens in this town  
Nothing bad ever happens in this town
 
But when the town goes to sleep  
You can hear the sound of something devious  
Of something quite mysterious  
Lurking in the dark
 
But not for long I’ll add fuel to the fire  
By turning the town into a funeral pyre!  
I got a burning ambition  
Add the last of this gas on the thatch  
With this match says it’s time for ignition!
 
Help help! The lookout’s house is in cinders  
I told that guy to stop using Tinder!  
I’ll investigate…  
Hey, I can smell an arsonist’s gas!  
Pardon me?  
What? Ew, not that  
I mean you set the fire!  
Hang her immediately!  
All say aye, AYE!  
Bye bye! Now we can be free  
Cause nothing bad ever happens in this town  
Nothing bad ever happens in this town
 
But when the town goes to sleep  
You can hear the sound of something devious  
Of something quite mysterious  
Lurking in the dark
 
It’s dead frosty out cause I’m a serial killer  
One stab and no investigator left to turn me in and  
It’s on the the next house to attack  
AAAH!  
Gotcha, you stepped right into my veteran booby trap  
I saved the town. I saved the town!  
Wait, is anybody else around?  
Me, I’m a medium, and it’s just us  
What a painful lonely existence  
Can you ask how the afterlife is?  
Uh-huh, the whole town is there reunited  
And every single one of them is saying it’s great there  
Hmm, then it’s time for some euthanasia

English? Isn’t there some rule about English? I can’t find it but I vaguely recall it… Maybe that’s just the forums?

@Background Pony #616A  
Yes, I read that comic. I ignored it because it made no sense.

EL PUNTO ES QUE ELLAS NO SON INMORTALES Y QUE Star Swirl LAS DESTERRO DESDE EL PASADO DE EQUESTRIA 1000 AÑOS AL FUTURO DEL MUNDO HUMANO 1000 AÑOS Y QUE FUERON TRANSPORTADAS A COMIENZOS DE LA SEGUNDA DECADA DEL SIGLO 21 A LA CIUDAD DE PONYVILLE LA CIUDAD VECINA DE CANTERLOT QUE ESTA DETRAS DE LAS MONTAÑAS Y DONDE ESTA CANTERLOT HIGH TAL COMO LO MUESTRA SU COMIC FIENDSHIP IS MAGIG N.-3

Let’s not forget the classic “throw you into a pool of water; if you drown, you’re innocent”.

@Cirrus Light  
Point. Or that one death by crushing.

@FanOfMostEverything  
You wouldn’t get burned at the stake in Salem, either.
 
They hanged witches there, not burned. I’d strongly prefer that to burning, honestly. But yeah, burning was more of a European thing :q

@Bootsy Slickmane  
Lol yeah if she did turn someone into a newt I hope they got better

@Background Pony #F82D  
“‘That sucked, let’s go to Prance,’ you said. ‘We’ll never get burned at the stake in Prance.’”  
“You’re never letting me live that down, are you?”  
“Not after Sonata invented the guillotine.”  
“I thought it was funny!”  
“You would.”

@Background Pony #A9F5  
Considering the time, it could’ve been almost anything, including just some jealous wife who didn’t like her face. Didn’t take much to be accused of being a witch back then.

I wonder if on the right she turned someone into a newt to have that happen to her

I do love the idea of the sirens getting in and out of some rather ridiculous historical scrapes.
