lyrics

Melchior The Shooter

Serving years as mercenary in emperor’s army
Pleased himself in atrocities of 30-years war
At last peace came at least for a while, goddamn
Suddenly there was no job for such a wild man

War teach him what to do to anyone
Crossing his paths of evil, violence and greed
Returned home he had nothing to do for life
Hardened in murder, pillage, robbery and rape

Melchior Hedloff
No interest in normal life
Melchior Hedloff
Silesian shooting star

Thus he became a bestial murderer
Roaming the woods of Silesia
Armed with two muskets and saber
Ambushing those crossing his forest

251 killed he claimed being tortured
Germans, Poles, Jews, ten women among them
One of women was pregnant, he cut her belly
To eat the beating heart of unborn child

Zbrodniarz Melchior
Melchior der Mörder

In February 1654 the town of Olesnica saw the shooter’s death
His arms and breasts were skinned alive on four corners of the square
He was dragged on ox skin to the pasture beyond the walls
His arms and legs were broken by the wheel, and it wasn’t the end

The executioner opened his chest and torn his heart alive
Then the carcass of human beast was quartered with axe
Four bloody pieces were gibbeted around the town
To warn anyone trying to follow the shooter from hell

Zbrodniarz Melchior
Melchior der Mörder
