Acid Witch Witchfynder Finder

Acid Witch Witchfinder Finder lyrics

She was left raped and bleeding, freezing in the snow
A soldier I, returned from war, to find my bride like so
Her family dead, her father hanged at the gallows in the square
He was accused of witchcraft, a devil priest
By blood, revenge, is the oath that I now swear

Witchfynder finder
Witchhunter slayer
I shall be a grim reminder
of the lives he undid here

Destitute and surely deranged
I now drift from town to town
Maddened with my lust for revenge
In the bottle my sorrows drowned
I search the name of Hopkins
When our paths cross cross, I’ll take away his life
I’ll bash his f**king skull in and scalp him with my knife

Vengeance! Vengeance! On the Inquisitor, slay!
Vengeance! Vengeance! The hunter becomes the prey!

Witchfynder Finder 2010 from the band Acid Witch album Stoner

One of my favorite songs of the album Chronicles of the Dead by Falchion is “Shadows In The Wasteland.”

This is a really good song, it has melodic guitar riffs, lots of drum fills, double bass and really good growling metal vocals!

A “Falchion” is a one-handed, single-edged sword of European origin, whose design is reminiscent of the Persian scimitar and the Chinese dao.

In regards to this band: “Falchion was a Finnish heavy metal band formed in 2002. Their debut album, Legacy of Heathens, was released in 2005. The vocalist and lead guitarist Juho Kauppinen and drummer Matti Johansson perform with the Finnish folk metal group Korpiklaani, as the accordion player and drummer, respectively. The band split up in 2009.”

Lyrics to Falchion Shadows In The Wasteland:

In the starlight, hallucinating
Knee-deep in a lake of fire
Radiated, mutated
Fade away to the darkness

Shattered dreams, twisted nightmares
All I hear is everlasting silence
A flash of bright light in the night
My mind got clearer, focusing thoughts

In the coming days I can see the new dawn of man
No more dead and gone, no more lost in the desert sand
In the distant skies, roaring storm cracks open the sky
We’re rising from the shadows in the wasteland

I see patterns in darkened forms
All the colors are out of space
Visions unlike I’ve never seen or known
All fade away as I feel the shiver

“Shadows in the Wasteland” is from the album Chronicles of the Dead by Falchion.
