Warhammer - The Conqueror Worm Lyrics

(Lyrics by V. Frerich)

(Music by F. Krynojewski)



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
