For Those Who Died Lyrics by Sabbat (UK)

History of a Time to Come

1988

"You stand before this court accused of heresy and witchcraft. How do you plead?"
"Not guilty!"
"Guilty... guilty... guilty... guilty..."
Our tongues they could not silence
With their malicious lies
Their unforgotten violence
Remember those who died
And as my flesh is put to fire
I hear their voices still
Their unjust accusations
Demanding I am killed
'We shall show no mercy to heathen
Such as thee
Who stand accused and have refused
The church's clemency
Your wicked acts are endless
Though the crime we cannot name
Innocent or guilty proved
We'll burn you just the same.'
Burning, into the fire
Burning, a funeral pyre
Burning, into the fire
Burning, a funeral pyre
This self-righteous inquisition
Is a plague upon our land
As false as the confessions they force
From shattered hands
'We shall show no mercy to heathen
Such as thee
Who stand accused and have refused
The church's clemency
Your wicked acts are endless
Though the crime we cannot name
Innocent or guilty proved
We'll burn you just the same.'
Burning, into the fire
Burning, a funeral pyre
Burning, into the fire
Burning, a funeral pyre
Abused my broken body is cleansed
By righteous flame
Their god a 'god of mercy' -
Yet in whose name I'm slain
[Guitar Solo]
My innocence the victim of their
Superstitious fears
Religious persecution for the past
Three hundred years
Preaching peace and mercy 'neath the
Shadow of the knife
A papal reign of terror -
Slaughter in the name of christ
Slaughter in the name of christ
And as my flesh is put to fire
I hear their voices still
Their unjust accusations
Demanding I am killed
'We shall show no mercy to heathen
Such as thee
Who stand accused and have refused
The church's clemency
Your wicked acts are endless
Though the crime we cannot name
Innocent or guilty proved
We'll burn you just the same.'
Burning, into the fire
Burning, a funeral pyre
Burning, into the fire
Burning, a funeral pyre
