Powerwolf - 1589

Fifteen eighty nine, face the court of force divine
Filed under torment and fire
Terminate his fate on October 28th
Sentenced a werewolf, a beast

Deep in the night, when they hunted in hated
Circled the wolf in the wild
And in pale lunar light, and the shape of a savage
Guided by anger they're blind

1589 - Peter Stump was killed in twilight
1589 - caught and filed sacrificed
1589 - in the name of the high and mighty
1589 - torture awaits tonight

Fifteen eighty nine, said the murderer was lupine
Women and children devoured
Slayed on fullmoon 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 Stump was killed in twilight
1589 - caught and filed sacrificed
1589 - in the name of the high and mighty
1589 - torture awaits tonight

Fifteen eighty nine, 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
