Valperga

VALPERGA
(Antonio, Count Of Valperga)

Witches burning on this night
Martyrs dying to pacify
The closed mind of peasants
Devoted to idols – supersticious

No one wants to get involved
They accuse but they won’t judge
I watch my liege it keeps on burning
But it’s not finished yet
In Valperga

Valperga

Hear the cries of women burning
Satan’s falling – Deus Lo Vult!
“Lamia”, “Stria” I hear them calling
Lord, forgive them for what they’ve done

Monstra volant, dirae stridunt
In nube volucres, nocturnaeque gemunt
Striges et feralia bubo
Damna canens
(Thèbais, P.Papinius Statius)

Sic Striges per silvam ductae
Ignis purgat
