[Music: Mameli]

[Lyrics: V. Drunen]



Dark middleagess centuries of pain

The appearance of the inquisitions

Religion turned out to be insane

In these times of witch prosecutions



Tortured till confession

Await the execution

Moaning and suffering

Tormented till death on the rack



Hundreds of them were sentenced

for perpetraiting heresy

Desperately begging for mercy

But death was only guarantee



Intense excruciation

Unmerciful cremation

Their smouldering bodies

and charred bones are left on the stake



The question of the interrogators

Extorted the false confessions

Broken upon the will they ended

Without even knowing the accusation



Limbs chopped off, viscera torn out

Mutilated venereal organs

Death in the name of the church

Decapitated or quartered



Evil exorcized

Purified flesh

Saved by the stake

Reduced to ashes
