Paroles de The Conqueror Worm

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 [refrain] 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] Under god's name
