A manifesto's been declared
The witches hammer to be heard
By those who practise heresy
Those who would change in secrecy
You have been warned
Time is to regret
It is the inquisitions law
To sort them out if they're not pure
It's not allowed another will
Those sorcerers who pretend to heal
You will confess to their reign of fear
[2x]
Make them believe
Convert the pagans
The devil's feast
Burn them!
Make them believe
Convert the pagans cleansed by fire
He was a righteous honoured man
The mayor of a German town
He was notorious on his own
As a hunter of the witches known
He would nor rest
'til his duty's done
[2x]
Make them believe
Convert the pagans
The devil's feast
Burn them!
Make them believe
Convert the pagans cleansed by fire
Cleansed by fire
Cleansed by fire
[2x]
Oremus, oremus
Oremus pro paganis
In mortem, in mortem,
Agnoscant veritatem
Cleansed by fire
They'll be cleansed by fire
They'll be cleansed by fire
They'll be cleansed by fire
2. Scapegoat
It was back in the 16th century
when enlightenment was still elementary.
People lived with their superstition,
death was all around.
War and black death. War and black death.
And when the fruits would perish,
harvest was dried and withered.
And then the children died,
the pestilence, the plague.
War and black death. War and black death.
Madness ist everywhere, a real hysteria.
Thousands would lose their lives,
burned by that mob alive.
She's just a scapegoat
(in darkness they will dwell)
create a true world of hell.
'Cause the church overpowered superior,
ruled the people's minds with sheer terror,
found a scapegoat for real everything
that scared them in their lives.
War and black death. War and black death.
Scared by powers of nature
ignorance would have made you
fear those who knew 'bout healing,
far away from god.
