[Verse 1]
Sacrifice, holy rites, secrecy and altar wine
The black candles burning low
To the meetings again they go
Picard can't wait to take away another soul
Oh, it's a shame, Picard was so insane

[Chorus]
In the year of 1642, it came to an end
In 1642, imprisonment

[Verse 2]
Sacrifice, holy rites, secrecy and alter wine
Black death, come this way, Father Picard will soon be going
He's ill, so sick, now his meetings are forever over
Oh, it's a shame, they went along with his game

[Chorus]
In the year of 1642, it came to an end
In 1642, imprisonment

[Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque]

[Verse 3]
Sacrifice, holy rites, secrecy and alter wine
The nuns can't take the blame
One after one, they suffer a breakdown
Confession, confession, they confess to diabolic possession
Oh, it's shame, even Madeleine has gone insane
[Outro]
In the year of 1642, Madeline was leaving Hell
In 1642, she found freedom in her prison cell

[Guitar Solo: Pete Blakk]
