White Hammer Lyrics

White Hammer lyrics

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.
Malleus Maleficarum slaughtered
and tortured
all those under suspicion, as the Inquisition
ordered--
burning black hearts and innocents alike, killing the
mad
...such was the power the Hammer had.
Though Hexenhammer was intended
to slay only evil,
fear and anger against magick overspilled:
they also
killed those of the White
.
So for two centuries and more they tried to
slay
both the Black and the White arts--
but spirit over-rides
pain.
For every one the torture took, two were hid secure,
and so the
craft endured.
Love and hate lived on in the face of fear,
Hexenhammer's
force died,
and the real power became clear:
White Hammer no more is
beaten; now it begins to beat,
and the Grey, once oppressor,
now, at good
hands, faces defeat.
The Black, too, shall bow down to the power
above....
Black hate beats Grey
But supreme i
s
the White Hammer of
Love.
