ANVIL - Thumb Hang lyrics

rate me

Thumbs will twist, can you resist?

Beware the names on the inquisitor's list

Trial by fire, the holy desire

Religion and rule can be so cruel

[Chorus:]

All in the name of the cross

Thumbhang

Thumbhang

Word of the Pope, the loss of all hope

Maniplulation is here, governed by fear

[Chorus]

Mounted on horses, inquisitors ride

At the end of their spears the heathens died

Forced to confess they prayed as the lied

Prayed as they lied

Tortured and prisoned and sentenced to die

When it's the Church you weren't meant, meant to defy

[?], state of control

Money to steal, government's deal

Tortured and shamed, who could be blamed?

Using the cross, the lives that were lost

All in the name of God

Thumbhang [x5]
