about

Haunting song about a medieval villager taking revenge on the village elders after they scapegoat and punish him for questioning a brutally repressive religious system.

lyrics

Banished

The elders of the village
Held their people tight in bondage
Christian Morals, laid down law
When eyes are opened, wanting more

Slaving in the cornfields
Working hard for a selfish God
Dreaming of freedom, wanting salvation
The elders discover my intentions

Inquisition, branded with fire
The witchfinders cruel desire
Stripped and tarred
Banished to the Forest

Waiting in a clearing
The Black Goat of Mendes awaits
"Wouldst thy like to live deliciously"
"Join me, take thy revenge"

The village burning, the elders slain
The women raped and murdered
The children compelled to join with the goat
We wandered back to the forest

Inquisition, branded with fire
The witchfinders cruel desire
Stripped and tarred
Banished to the Forest
