|
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 |
|
