God of Mercy

Father: "Thank you wise woman, you herbs and potions have healed the boy"

Healer: It is nothing, thank Nerthus, just give the Goddess a small sacrifice

Priest: Vade retro Malefica. Seize her

Boy screams: "No, leave her!"

Father: "Hold it ... please, I beg you, she did no harm"

Priest: "She is in league with the devil, stand back and keep still or you will share her fate"

On the air I can smell the stench of evil

It is the devil's work you exercise

Vade retro evil demon

I can clearly see through your disguise

Heathen you shall burn

God's mercy you shall learn

The holy cross will purge your power

To the blessed water you must yield

Arrest her now, put her in irons

And in time the truth win be revealed

Heathen you shall burn

God's mercy you shall learn

He's a god full of mercy so your demon he'll defy

As the flames burn your flesh your soul to purify

So we sing all his glory while the witch burns at the stake

We rejoice in his mercy and a peaceful world we'll make

Look at her now bound to the pole

The most blasphemous sins she confessed

But god is great and his mercy endless

Her rotten soul in fire shall be blessed

See the flames reaching for the sky

God has mercy she is purified

A miracle, kneel and pray

God has mercy on those astray

Boy: "Father, why do the Franks hate us so much"

Father: "Because we are Saxons my son, be proud of what you are!"

Boy: "Then tell me our history father, so that I may know who I am."
