While the black smoke of the stakes Inquisition was spreading his fetid Pall over the Spain The terrible and ancient Papal Inquisition Continuing his activity all over Europe His power is everywhere The darkness of the forest to the Christians faith Was closely linked to the Devil's house City and village, monastery and abbey Spiritual places for the Christianity Fear to admit That you believe in the old divinity Sunday in the Church Night in the wood This masked faith Celebration the Sabbath to quiet The Devils [chorus] We are forced to believe in your God There is fear We can't profess another faith Every Village had his own Witch Who helped people to predict the future Philtre and Love potion we need to live You are condemning the pleasures of this world Fear to admit That you believe in the old divinity Sunday in the Church Night in the wood This masked faith Celebration the Sabbath to quiet The Devils [chorus]
