The Conqueror Worm Lyrics - Warhammer

(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
