(Lyrics by V. Frerich)
|
(Music by F. Krynojewski)
|
|
The quest for power led to unbelievable deeds
|
Politics and religion - the cruel force to rule
|
He rode through the country, without feelings and shame
|
And when one village was done, he left broken hearts and pain
|
To satisfy his lust with the young ones, was his aim
|
The conqueror worm - Matthew Hopkins, the name
|
|
REFRAIN:
|
Fear the witchfinder general
|
Torture was his game
|
Beware the witchfinder general
|
Terror and torment under God's name
|
|
Dark souls reigned in the old days, with blackened hearts
|
No place to hide, the mighty decided at will
|
He represented the hypocrisy, the lies, and the hate
|
The corrupt, wicked one decided people's fate
|
Starved, burned, and quartered behind iron gates
|
The poor ones in the dungeons, forgotten and raped
|
|
REFRAIN
|
|
The quest for power led to unbelievable deeds
|
Politics and religion - the cruel force to rule
|
He rode through the country, without feelings and shame
|
And when one village was done, he left broken hearts and pain
|
To satisfy his lust with the young ones, was his aim
|
The conqueror worm - Matthew Hopkins, the name
|
|
REFRAIN
|
|
Under God's name
