INTRO:
G(+d) F C G
In the year 1486 the Malleus first appeared,
G(+d) F C G
designed to kill all witchcraft and end the papal fears:
D Em G Bb/F(+g) F
prescribing tortures to kill the Black A - arts;
D D7 D6 D Dsus2 D D7 D6 D Dsus2
and the Hammer struck hard.
G(+d) F C G
Malleus Maleficarum slaughtered and tortured
G(+d) F C G
all those under suspicion, as the Inquisistion ordered -
D Em G Bb/F(+g) F
burning black hearts and innocents alike, killing the ma - ad;
D D7 D6 D Dsus2 D D7 D6 D Dsus2
such was the power the Hammer had.
Em A
Though Hexenhammer was intended to slay only evil,
Em A
fear and anger against magic overspilled:
D G D Em
they also killed those of the White.
G(+d) F C G G F D#
So for two centuries and more they tried to slay
G(+d) F
both the Black and the White Arts -
C G
but spirits override pain.
D Em G Bb/F(+g) F
For every one that the torture took, two were hid secu - re,
D D7 D6 D Dsus2 D D7 D6 D Dsus2
and so the craft (yes it) en - dured.
D D7 D6 D Dsus2
Em A
Love and hate lived on in the face of fear,
Em A
Hexenhammer's force died,
D D G D Em
and the real power became clear:
G(+d) F C G
White Hammer no more is beaten; now it begins to beat,
G(+d) F
and the Grey, once oppressor,
C G
now, at good hands, faces defeat.
D Em G Bb/F(+g) F
And the Black, too, shall bow down to the power abo - ove;
D D7 D6 D Dsus2
Black hate beats Grey
D D7 D6 D Dsus2
but supreme is
B Bsus4 B A6 B Bsus4 B A6
the White Hammer of Lo-ove, the White Hammer of Lo-ove.

Improvisation in D follows, which finally calms down. Then, the organ starts
playing its omnious section.
d d# a# f#
Instruments enter, and lead this theme until the very last part of the section,
which is slightly different.
