Mercyful Fate - Torture (1629) from the 1998 album "Dead Again"

Anna...was praying to a God

She had betrayed, so they said...

Some folk had seen her flying on a broom

All Hallows Eve, under the moon

The Inquisitor had left her behind

Gone for a bite, food on his mind

The sun was slowly trying to hide

Behind a town so full of pride

A sight Anna would never see again

Torture in the name of Christ, confess, oh you witch

Torture in the name of Christ, you witch you...confess

[solo:Shermann]

Sitting naked on the wooden horse

Weights to her legs, what a holy cross

Her bloody hands tied to her back

Her golden hair burned to black

Thumbscrews they had used

To crush each tip of her fingers to a pulp

In the torture chamber, she couldn't feel much more

Of anything...anymore

Torture in the name of Christ, confess, oh you witch

Torture in the name of Christ, you witch you...confess

Satan's mark...had slipped away

They already searched her body twice today

And it was all in vain

Oh Anna here they come again

Off the horse, strapado for a friend

Up she goes, higher and higher

Anna's crying, screaming: "Liars"

[solo:Shermann-Wead]

Confess, confess witch

Confess, before you die

"Yes, yes, I am a witch, may Satan take you all"

[solo: Wead]

They dropped her from the ceiling

To a foot above the floor

Her arms and legs disjointed

Screams of pain...then finally no...more
