When the Hammer fell
The Old World felt its spell
By Innocent's decree
The Hunters were set free
It was the darkest of times
The Hunters weren't punished for their crimes
They killed and raped with impunity
Protected by the Church's decree
They swore to uphold the faith
To save the world from Sin
For those that were accused
It was trial they could not win
When the Hammer fell
The Old World felt its spell
It called Witchcraft Heresy
And the Hunters were set free
Across the land the darkness spread
In its wake the condemned and dead
The Church grew fat on what it stole
From innocent hands young and old
Exposed to tortures without end
Even the strongest confessed to sin
Forced to admit to Satanic pacts
And name others involved in the acts
When the Hammer fell
The Old World felt its spell
If accused you were guilty
When the Hunters were set free
For over six hundred years
The Countryside was awash in fear
The Hunters traveled far and wide
There was nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Not one person was safe
As the Inquisition sought to protect the faith
And when trials came to an end at last
The Church believed we would forget the past
When the Hammer fell
The Old World felt its spell
Death and torture the legacy
When the Hunters were set free.
Our Course is set, our path is clear
Never again will we live in fear
We must each do all we can
To spread tolerance across the land
When everyone can worship as they please
Only then will humanity be free
And the Burning Times of long ago
Will be something our children will never know
When the Hammer fell
The Old World felt its spell
Now we vow in unity,
