Sundown over lavenham


An old crow sat there greeting the looming dawn
That was undressing the atrocity darkness had adorned
By the growls of the hound of god the gallows had been
built
Three bodies hanging as ugly fruit of unholy guilt

Nobody could forebode
What they would concede
The Witchfinder General
The serum of god to make you speak

And the sun set over Lavenham
(burn, burn, burn)
Pyres fed the righteous desires
Sundown over Lavenham
(burn, burn, burn)
Witches burnt in a holy fire

Little did he know about the powers
That were present yet unseen
The bells of his funeral were already chiming
But blinded was he by his greed
Satan did not abandon his disciplesThat for long had sworn to his might
The iron fist of evil was squeezing the town
The legions of Hell would rule the night
Crawl, hound of god, crawl!

The old crow sat there watching the descending night
Witches dragged the wailing General to die
Stultifying the erodicated divine power
The menace to their nocturnal rites was over

He couldn't forebode
Witchcraft was reality
The Witchfinder General
The hound of god down on his knees

And the sun set over Lavenham
(burn, burn, burn)
Only embers remained from the pyres
Sundown over Lavenham
(burn, burn, burn)
Hopkins burning in Hellfire

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Wizzard is a British musical group formed in 1972 by Roy Wood, after his departure from Electric Light Orchestra. The band achieved great initial success in the UK as one of the most colorful and bizarre Glam Rock groups of their era. Their sound was characterized by orchestral arrangements, catchy melodies and imaginative lyrics, often inspired by Christmas themes or fantasy. Among Wizzard's most famous songs are "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday", "See My Baby Jive" and "Ball Park Rock". The band released several albums in the 1970s, including "Wizzard Brew" (1973) and "The Wizzard Album" (1974). After a period of decline, Wizzard disbanded in 1976. Roy Wood continued to work as a solo musician and producer.
