This song is an omage to the 1968’s flick “The Witchfinder General” directed by Micheal Reeves and starring horror icon Vincent Prince, based on the true story of Matthiew Hopkins, a fanatic that captured and executed a large number of women for witchcraft during the English Civil War (1642-49). Man...
[Intro]
I'm Matthew Hopkins, Witchfinder
[Verse 1]
She rides to the sabbath
Veiled under silver light
To make love to the devil
A vampire child of night
Within the mystic forest
She sets your world alight
Her coven conjure the demons
Herald the sacrifice, yeah
[Chorus]
Lucifera Vampirella
You wear the mark of the devil
[Verse 2]
Queen of the witches
Her kingdom is your Hell
Black masses in the convent
Priests under her spell
The crops have withered
The sky bends upside down
Her name is Lucifera
The mutant preachers yell - yeah
[Chorus]
Lucifera Vampirella
You wear the mark of the devil
[Interlude]
My business is God's business, witchfinding
Confess
Fake venom is a treason
Confess
[Verse 3]
My name is Hopkins
I'm the Witchfinder Gen'ral
My impotence deceives me
Your beauty turns me pale
Winds haunt the village
Satan's ghost awakes
The world falls into darkness
As she melts at the stake - yeah
[Outro]
Matthew Hopkins Witchfinder General
Your soul condemned to Hell
She's written to the sabbath
She's made love to the devil
She is a witch
I'm Matthew, Witchfinder
