The Origin of the Witch Hunts Lyrics


A man in control with a lost soul:

"Send out the hounds

And bring me a witch

To help me solve this problem

I am in need of using the craft

to put a spell on some contractors

and all of my opponents

Let's talk to the governor

Let's convince the patriarch

To appoint and call in the insquisitor"

The inquisitor:

"Let the witch hunt commence

Our soil and souls must be cleansed"

A man in control with a lost souls:

"He knows where to find them

And how to bring them in

Must include my backlist

Leading parts and figurants

Put them all on trial

Let them be judged

but keep apart the true

For I need the crafts of doom

So drown the false

So prick the false

So burn the false

Save and keep apart the true"

The inquisitor:

"Some were touched by the evil hand

All must be given the evil eye

Drwon them

Prick them

Burn them

each proofs counts

Guilty as sin

No denial

When witchproof is found

Send this lot to trial

By fire...By fire...Trial by fire

Trial by fire...Trial by fire....Trial...By fire"

A man in control with a lost soul:

"No confusion

No absolution

I shall not be linked with all their crimes

No confusion

Final solution

That they be cursed

To this fate I have in mind

Are these witches from hell?

I know that's where they will go

Toghteter with some of my contractors

And not to forget my opponents!

To hell with them!

to hell with them!"

Any man with common sense:

"No! To hell with you!

Law and order prevail, no justice was done

and your soul was sold at the origin

Of the witch hunts"
