Ten Wiles

Tell man, which is the faith you profess
which is the pope you confess
you know I’m merciful with you
for I’m sure you’ll tell me the truth
who’s the one that misled you
believe me I’ll pardon you

We know where, when and with whom you were
but my pity is useless,
indeed I fought for your wellness
you know I’ve got nothing to loose – watch out
lash is already on your back
I want your soul to be free

Oh man eat, the bread of sorrow,
drink the water of tribulation
dig and dig… to exhume the remains
celebrate holy stake

To wrest his confession I will place
by his side a good Christian – and then
his friend that will be my partner
you’ll get much more than begged mercy…
for each penance and torture
for the sinner are Grace!

Oh man eat, the bread of sorrow,
drink the water of tribulation
dig and dig… to exhume the remains
celebrate holy stake
