Reduced to Ashes - Barghest

Reduced to Ashes Lyrics

Dark middle ages, centuries of pain
The appearance of the inquisition
Religion turned out to be insane
In these times of witch prosecutionsTortured till confession
Await the execution
Moaning and suffering
Tormented till death on the rackHundreds of them were sentenced
For perpetrating heresy
Desperately begging for mercy
But death was their only guaranteeIntense excruciation
Unmerciful cremation
[Incomprehensible] their smoldering bodies
And charred bones are left on the stakeThe questions of the interrogators
Extorted their false confessions
Broken upon the will they ended
Without even knowing the accusationLimbs chopped off, viscera torn out
Mutilated venereal organs
Death in the name of the church

Decapitated or quarteredEvil exorcised
Purified flesh
Saved by the stake
Reduced to ashes
Reduced to ashesDark middle ages, centuries of pain
The appearance of the inquisition
Religion turned out to be insane
In these times of witch prosecutionsTortured till confession
Await the execution
Moaning and suffering
Tormented till death on the rackEvil exorcised
Purified flesh
Saved by the stake
Reduced to ashes
Reduced to ashes
