White Hammer

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In the year 1486, the Malleus first appeared Designed to kill all witchcraft and end the papal fears: Prescribing tortures to kill the Black Arts; And the Hammer struck hard [Verse 2] Malleus Maleficarum slaughtered and tortured All those under suspicion, as the Inquisistion ordered - Burning black hearts and innocents alike, killing the mad; Such was the power here that the Hammer had [Bridge] Though Hexenhammer was intended to slay only evil Fear and anger against magic overspilled: They also killed those of the White [Verse 3] So for two centuries and more they tried to slay Both the Black and the White Arts - But spirits override pain For every one that the torture took, two were hid secure And so the craft, yes, it endured [Bridge] Love and hate lived on in the face of fear Hexenhammer's force died And the real power became clear: [Verse 4] White Hammer no more is beaten; now it begins to beat And the Grey, once oppressor Now, at good hands, faces defeat And the Black, too, shall bow down to the power above; Black hate beats Grey But supreme is The White Hammer of Love The White Hammer of Love [Outro]
