White Hammer - 2005 Digital Remaster
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 Inquisistion ordered
Burning black hearts and innocent alike
Killing the mad
Such was the power
Here, that the Hammer had
Though Hexenhammer was intended to slay only evil
Fear and anger against magic 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 spirits override pain
For every one that the torture took
Two were hid secure
And so, the craft
Yes, it 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
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
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 Inquisistion ordered
Burning black hearts and innocent alike
Killing the mad
Such was the power
Here, that the Hammer had
Though Hexenhammer was intended to slay only evil
Fear and anger against magic 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 spirits override pain
For every one that the torture took
Two were hid secure
And so, the craft
Yes, it 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
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
