[Music: Mameli]   [Lyrics: V. Drunen]      Dark middleagess centuries of pain   The appearance of the inquisitions   Religion turned out to be insane   In these times of witch prosecutions      Tortured till confession   Await the execution   Moaning and suffering   Tormented till death on the rack      Hundreds of them were sentenced   for perpetraiting heresy   Desperately begging for mercy   But death was only guarantee      Intense excruciation   Unmerciful cremation   Their smouldering bodies   and charred bones are left on the stake      The question of the interrogators   Extorted the false confessions   Broken upon the will they ended   Without even knowing the accusation      Limbs chopped off, viscera torn out   Mutilated venereal organs   Death in the name of the church   Decapitated or quartered      Evil exorcized   Purified flesh   Saved by the stake   Reduced to ashes
