Changes are crawling over the land

All things must come to an end

Our deepest convictions were twisted to shame

By an entourage so seemingly tame

They're teaching the word of a stranger messiah

Spreading his world like wildfire

With a wistful heart I see their churches arise

Where our old groves brought shelter in the night

Age of torment

Solo: Elwitschger

Hundredds of years on the madness has won

Fear and greed led to submission

Those who stick to the old old way face hatred and scorn

A faith forever forlirn

They're whipping the ones who won't bend their knees

As they preach of compassion and charity

In the name of the cross they now fight side by side

Till all of the heretics have died

Age of torment

Die! Die, now as you kneel

There is no chance for false pleas

Die! Die, break on the wheel

Your soul will be cleansed by my steel

Deus vult - heading to the Promised Land

Wresting our claim from their demonic hand

The false ones shall face expulsion and death

I'm serving God's will - till my last breath

Lead: Oberlerchner

Lead: Elwitschger

Solo: Oberlerchner

A smell of death fills the streets of this town

Full of moaning bodies with swollen boils

Victims of a mighty disease

Sent as punishment from God

The mounts of garbage on the streets

Won't help to stop the plague

But we must atone for our sins with self-flagellation

While the cold hand of death spares none

Noe confess witch your pact with Satan

You'll die in any way

Burned at the stake or drowned in the lake

There can't be enough decay

No one escaped the strength of the inquisition

They make you pay

For crimes you've never committed

For things you'd never say

Devastating the sight, engulfing the mind

The idea is left far behind

The force of religion has taken its toll

Total clerical control

An age of torment, suffering and pain

Its fascination will forever remain

The age of legends, dark as the night

Still filling your hearts with fright

Age of torment
