Film: Masque of the Red Death

Lyrics: [Prince Prospero]

That cross you wear around your neck;

Is it only a decoration, or are you a

true Christian believer?

 

[Francesca]

Yes, I believe - truly.

 

[Prince Prospero]
Then I want you to remove it at once!

And never to wear it within this castle

again! Do you know how a falcon is trained my

dear? Her eyes are sewn shut. Blinded temporarily

she suffers the whims of her God patiently, until

her will is submerged and she learns to serve -

as your God taught and blinded you with

crosses.

 

[Francesca]
You had me take off my cross because it

offended?

 

[Prince Prospero]
It offended no-one. No. It simply appears

to me to be discourteous to - to wear

the symbol of a deity long dead.

My ancestors tried to find it. And to open

the door that separates us from our Creator.

 

[Francesca]
But you need no doors to find God.

If you believe.

 

[Prince Prospero]
Believe?! If you believe you are gullible.

Can you look around this world and believe

in the goodness of a god who rules it?

Famine, Pestilence, War, Disease and Death!

They rule this world.

 

[Francesca]
There is also love and life and hope.

 

[Prince Prospero]
Very little hope I assure you. No. If a god

of love and life ever did exist. He is long

since dead. Someone, something rules
in his place.

Song: Matthew Hopkins: Witchfinder General

Year: 1996

Film: Witchfinder General (1968)

Lyrics: She rides to the sabbath

Veiled under silver light

To make love to the devil

Necromancer of nyte

Within the mystic forest

She sets your soul alight

Her coven conjure the demons

Herald the sacrifice-yeah

Lucifera Vampirella

She bares the mark of the devil

Queen of the witches

Her kingdom is your hell

Black masses in the convent

Priests under her spell

The crops have withered

The sky bends upside down

Her name is Lucifera

The mutant preachers yell yeah

My name is Hopkins

I'm the Witchfinder General

My impotence deceives me

Your beauty turns me pale

Winds haunt the village

Satan's ghost awakes

The world falls into darkness

As she melts at the stake yeah

Matthew Hopkins

Witchfinder General

Your soul condemned to Hell
