Torture 1629 Lyrics

    Anna... was praying to a god
    She had betrayed, so they said
    Some folk had seen her flying on a broom
    All hallows eve, under the moon

    The inquisitor had left her behind
    Gone for a bite, food on his mind
    The sun was slowly trying to hide
    Behind a town so full of pride
    A sight anna would never see again

    Torture in the name of christ, confess, oh you witch
    Torture in the name of christ, you witch you... confess

    Solo: shermann

    Sitting naked on the wooden horse
    Weights to her legs, what a holy cross>
    Her bloody hands tied to her back
    Her golden hair burned to black

    Thumbscrews they had used
    To crush each tip of her fingers to a pulp
    In the torture chamber, she couldn't feel much more
    Of anything... anymore

    Torture in the name of christ, confess, oh you witch
    Torture in the name of christ, you witch you... confess

    Satan's mark... had slipped away
    They already searched her body twice today
    And it was all in vain

    Oh anna here they come again
    Off the horse, strapado for a friend
    Up she goes, higher and higher
    Anna's crying, screaming: "liars"

    Solo: shermann-wead

    Confess, confess witch
    Confess, before you die

    "yes, yes, i am a witch, may satan take you all"

    Solo: wead

    They dropped her from the ceiling
    To a foot above the floor
    Her ams and legs disjointed
    Screams of pain... then finally no... more
