Witchfinder General

Matthew Hopkins (c. 1620 – 12 August 1647) was an English witchhunter whose career flourished during the time of the English Civil War. He claimed to hold the office of Witchfinder General, although that title was never bestowed by Parliament. His witchhunts mainly took place in the eastern counties of Suffolk, Essex, Norfolk, and occasionally in Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, and Huntingdonshire. more »

The screams and the dreams and the nightmares it seems are from Hell
Things lurk in the churchyard and raise from the soil those who dwell
They come from a cult of evil and bad, No relent
To search for the body they seek there that night whose consent

Oh yeah they're grave snatchers, yeah, church gate-crashers
Lucifer drives in today
Grave snatchers, yeah, church gate-crashers
Messing with the sacred way

The corpse it is taken to Satanist's Hill for its fate
Where hundreds of demons and creatures from Hell there do wait
Its heart does not beat but it's body is given to Hell
The air it is silent and all that you hear is his bell

Oh yeah they're grave snatchers, yeah, church gate-crashers
Messing with the sacred way
Grave snatchers, yeah, church gate-crashers
Lucifer drives in today

With many strange ways here on this earth I fear
For many a soul that rests in the church, it is clear
Although they are dead and cannot move, they can't rest
For when darkness falls, the snatchers from Hell, they do quest

Oh yeah they're grave snatchers, yeah, church gate-crashers
Messing with the sacred way
Grave snatchers, yeah, church gate-crashers
Stealing the bodies for prey
Meaning | Verified
Oh yeah, they're grave snatchers, yeah, church gate-crashes
Lucifer drives in today
Grave snatchers, yeah, church gate-crashes
Leaving a hole where he lay
