"1589" lyrics

1589, face the court of force divine
Filed under torment and fire
Terminate his fate on October 28th
Sentence a werewolf, a beast
Deep in the night, when they hunted in hatred
Circled the wolf in the wild
And in pale lunar light, in the shape of the savage
Guided by anger, they're blind

1589, Peter Stumpp was killed in twilight
1589, caught and filed, sacrificed
1589, in the name of the high and mighty
1589, torture awaits the night

1589, said the murderer was lupine
Women and children devoured
Slayed on full-moon nights, left but traces of the bites
One-handed phantom unleashed
Creep through the night, in his fever and madness
Hunter and victim alike

1589, Peter Stumpp was killed in twilight
1589, caught and filed, sacrificed
1589, in the name of the high and mighty
1589, torture awaits the night

1589, with all spectators, stand in line
Head off, break up this beast
Feast on his cries, as the torture is calling
Hear as the screams tear the night
Burning flames of the pyre, and the crowd they are roaring
Stare as beheaded he lies

1589, in the night of a thousand fires
1589, born a wild, died alike
1589, by the hand of the court and prior
1589, legend beyond your time
