wKAing ThE witch: Yeah, but not THAT kind of awakening

[IED0DXM%UCLAMVS.BITNET@WISCVM.ARPA]

Sorry, this "come" business in "Waking the Witch" just
doesn't hold water with IED, who is no prude, but simply
can't see any clear basis for the interpretation.
As IED sees the song, the character is asking for help
from her confessor BECAUSE she has been accused of being
a witch; the main purpose for her confession is to seek the
protection of the Church, NOT to admit that she is guilty.
Her hope of salvation is a metaphor for her hope for protection --
and, of course, both are forlorn.
But Doug's interpretation introduces a completely irrelevant,
even conflicting scene, wherein the character not only confesses
real sins (in the Church's eyes, mind you, not in IED's), but
RE-ENACTS them in the confessional! Give IED a break, Doug!
