white hammer + 2005 digital remaster lyrics
[instrumental intro]

[verse 1]
in the year 1486, the malleus first appeared
designed to k!ll all witchcraft and end the papal fears:
prescribing tortures to k!ll the black arts;
and the hammer struck hard

[verse 2]
malleus maleficarum slaughtered and tortured
all those under suspicion, as the inquisistion ordered +
burning black hearts and innocents alike, k!lling the mad;
such was the power here that the hammer had

[bridge 1]
though hexenhammer was intended to slay only evil
fear and anger against magic overspilled:
they also k!lled those of the white

[verse 3]
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
[bridge 2]
love and hate lived on in the face of fear
hexenhammer’s force died
and the real power became clear:

[verse 4]
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

[instrumental]
[break]
