about

This song originally started as a concept based on the TV series “El capitán Alatriste”and it is about the Spanish Inquisition. The title, “Auto da Fe” (“Test of Faith”) was a ritual of public penance carried out in the fifteenth to nineteenth centuries, where condemned heretics and apostates were publicly punished by the authorities. It’s most extreme form was death by burning. The riffs came together rather fast. This is also the first Scrollkeeper song to feature an extended bass solo.

lyrics

Music and Lyrics: Kamburov

Unholy witches dance
In a parson's wet dream
Chastise, free of sin
Desire renders him insane
Act of Faith,
Punish the body for sins of the mind

Flagellate, mortify the flesh
Purify one from sin
Desire, wash away
Depravity in the eyes of the Lord

Round up heretics
Stoke the embers of hate
Prepare for the feast
A blessed virgin is born
Auto Da Fe,
Bow down to religious scorn

Master, inquisitor
Root out evil thru torture and fiery death
Carve out dissent
By the edge of the knife
The House of Aragon
All powerful stands

Auto Da Fe
Ceremony at day break
Auto Da Fe
The impure burn on the stake

Round up heretics
Live exorcism, keeps the rabble in check
Dungeon masters
Working overtime
Axes fall on neck after neck
Malicious priests stack the bloody deck
The glory of Aragon
Hail the well-born
Empire's galleons
Full to the prow
Gold must flow
While savages toil

Auto Da Fe
Ceremony at day break
Auto Da Fe
The impure burn on the stake
