It's the darkened years,nSuperstition's flying high.nThere is pain, there is fearnIn the poverty's sigh.nPreachers on a frightening spree,nOf demons and hell's fire.nWarnings of the devil's decreenIn all sinful desires.nnA boy have just arrived,nAn orphan he's becomenFrom adultery and incest and witchery.nTo the seething alleysnOf quarrels and discord,nA storm cloud has finally gathered.nnDiscussions long into the night,nAbout the dark one's diabolical scheme.nChildren they listen and they dreamnWell-fed nightmares of a similar theme.nnImaginations out of control.nFor each morning they tell more and more.n- Summon the new boy for a watchnHe have seen the signs of evil before.nn- There is the devil's bride,nRode on the goat astride.nGod save us from Satan's firm hand!nThere is the torture witch,nPoked us with glowing sticks.nGod save us from Satan's allies!nn- In the name of our Lord I'm harmless.n- Confess your sins to our Christ!n- I can't confess to what children dream.nPrejudiced tongues has twistednTheir minds before your eyes.n- Silence, you whore of the dark one,nSave your soul and repent what you've done!nnAccuse the poornAnd get a tap on the head.n- You truly are a blessed child,nShe will burn in iron upon the stake.nAccuse the countessnAnd get a slap into the face.n- You aught to know a noble's rang,nShe's too venerable for you poor fool.nn- Speed up the pace.nChanting the praisenEver higher.nHysteric ball:n- Sentence them allnTo the fire!nnOne day the boy confessed his lies.n- I know nothing aboutnThe witches ways.nOne after one they all came forth.n- Rather informers than burnnAt the end of the day.nn- There is the wicked tongue,nFrom indolence it sprung.nGod save us from sinister minds!nThere is the fiendish flock,nAll limbs are chained and locked.nGod save us from sinister minds!nnThere is the serpent's fang,nFrom where the evil sprang.nGod save him from the dark of hell!nThere is a boy aflamenEnding his fancied game.nGod save him from Satan's demons!
