[00:25.67] In the year 1486, the Malleus first appeared
[00:38.13] Designed to kill all witchcraft and end the papal fears
[00:51.37] Prescribing tortures to kill the black arts
[01:05.60] And the hammer struck hard
[01:11.25] Malleus Maleficarum slaughtered and tortured
[01:29.56] All those under suspicion, as the inquisition ordered
[01:41.41] Burning black hearts and innocents alike
[01:46.84] Killing the mad, such was the power the hammer had
[02:02.68] Though Hexenhammer was intended to slay only evil
[02:18.22] Fear and anger against magic overspilled
[02:23.58] They also killed those of the white
[02:31.10] So for two centuries and more they tried to slay
[02:46.50] Both the black and the white arts but spirits override pain
[02:59.45] For every one that the torture took, two were hid secure
[03:12.50] And so the craft, yes, it endured
[03:25.39] Love and hate lived on in the face of fear
[03:34.85] Hexenhammer's force died
[03:39.45] And the real power became clear
[03:50.94] White Hammer no more is beaten, now it begins to beat
[04:02.82] And the gray, once oppressor now at good hands, faces defeat
[04:16.13] And the black, too, shall bow down to the power above
[04:29.24] Black hate beats gray but supreme is
[04:39.66] The white hammer of love, the white hammer of love
