Cradle Of Filth - For Those Who Have Died Lyrics
"You stand before this court, accused of heresy and witch craft. How do you plead?""Not guilty!""Guilty!"Our tongues they could not silence with their malicious liesTheir unforgotten violence, remember those who diedAnd as my flesh is put to fire I hear their voices stillTheir unjust accusations demanding I am killed"We shall show no mercy to heathen such as theeWho stand accused and have refused the Church's clemencyYour wicked acts are endless through the crimes we cannot nameInnocent or guilty proved, we'll burn you just the same"Burning, into the fireBurning, a funeral pyreBurning, into the fireBurning, a funeral pyreThis self-righteous inquisition is a plague upon our landas false as the confessions they force from shattered hands"We shall show no mercy to heathen such as theeWho stand accused and have refused the Church's clemencyYour wicked acts are endless through the crimes we cannot nameInnocent or guilty proved, we'll burn you just the same"Burning, into the fireBurning, a funeral pyreBurning, into the fireBurning, a funeral pyreAbused my broken body is cleansed by righteous flame,Their God a 'God of Mercy' yet in whose name I slain.My innocence the victim of their superstitious fearsReligious persecution for the past three hundred yearsPreaching peace and mercy 'neath the shadow of the knifeA papal reign of terror, slaughter in the name of ChristAnd as my flesh is put to fire I hear their voices stilltheir unjust accusations demanding I am killed"We shall show no mercy to heathen such as theeWho stand accused and have refused the Church's clemencyYour wicked acts are endless through the crimes we cannot nameInnocent or guilty proved, we'll burn you just the same"Burning, into the fireBurning, a funeral pyreBurning, into the fireBurning, a funeral pyre
