Van Der Graaf Generator - White Hammer lyrics

In the year 1486 the Malleus first appeared Designed to k** all witchcraft and end the papal fears Prescribing tortures to k** the Black Arts And the Hammer struck hard Malleus Maleficarum slaughtered and tortured All those under suspicion, as the Inquisistion ordered Burning black hearts and innocent alike, k**ing the mad Such was the power here that the Hammer had Though Hexenhammer was intended to slay only evil Fear and anger against magic overspilled They also k**ed those of the White So for two centuries and more they tried to slay Both the Black and the White Arts But spirits override pain For every one that the torture took, two were hid secure And so the craft, yes it endured Love and hate lived on in the face of fear Hexenhammer's force died And the real power became clear White Hammer no more is beaten; now it begins to beat And the Grey, once oppressor Now, at good hands, faces defeat And the Black, too, shall bow down to the power above Black hate beats Grey But supreme is The White Hammer of Love The White Hammer of Love
