Petra's 'Witch Hunt' is a Christian rock song that critiques believers who get distracted by controversies and internal battles instead of focusing on the gospel. The lyrics, based on 1 Timothy 4:7 and Titus 3:9, warn against engaging in pointless disputes and neglecting the core mission of sharing Christ's love. The song uses the metaphor of a witch hunt to describe how Christians can become consumed with finding fault in others, forgetting the spiritual battle they are called to fight. It encourages a return to prayer and gospel-centered living rather than being sidetracked by divisive issues.

[Based on 1 Timothy 4:7, Titus 3:9]
Everybody look there's a new bandwagon in town
Hop on board and let the wind carry you around
Seems like there's not enough to keep us busy till the Lord comes back
Don Quixote's gotta have another windmill to attack
Another witch hunt looking for evil wherever we can find it
Off on a tangent, hope the Lord won't mind it
Another witch hunt, takin' a break from all our gospel labor
On a crusade but we forgot our saber
There's a new way to spend all our energies
We're up in arms instead of down on our knees
Walkin' over dollars trying to find another dime
Never mind the souls 'cause we really haven't got the time
So send out the dogs and tally ho
Before we sleep tonight we've got miles to go
No one is safe, no stone's left unturned
And we won't stop until somebody gets burned
Bro Bro Bro Bro Bro Bro Brothers
