De Zon Achterna Lyrics

De Zon Achterna 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.
