Maleficium

In a forgotten cemetery
Below an unmarked grave
Lies the soul of Mary
Who was burned at the stake

Her and her child met the flames of demise
The land was in plague
There was no compromise
Someone had to pay

Judaist lepers
Black magic wielders
Moon-howling wolves
And accursed wax figures

Maleficium

She pried open nailed eyes
Awake on the other side
That storm-raising priestess
Is back for our hides

You were unjustly accused
Tortured and abused
Deemed a heretic

Goddess of the underworld
Queen of the night
She's waiting at the cross-roads
To show us her might

Night-flying female
The Sabbath is coming
She's back from the grave
And the insects are swarming

With tears in her eyes
She accepts her demise
Scapegoat to the lies

Have mercy, 'o wrathful witch
For you were once innocent
But now revenge has consumed your soul

She claimed to hear voices
Of sprits and saints
But darkness and shadow
Are all that remain

She wanders the Earth
In the shadow of God
Traded her soul
For eternal unresolve

Traded her soul

She sought retribution
For her souls pollution
Overtaken by madness
And false persecution

Justice will come
To the wicked and wrong
But faith must prevail

Justice will come
To the wicked and wrong
But faith must prevail
