Underneath the sharpened scythe
Rich man call the cross
Run the gauntlet, noble son
Here's flesh for Iesus

In the year of the hungry wolf
Bring us the head of the bourgeois whore
Headsman, headsman, feed the wolf
Breed the wolf
Jesus put his tongue to the gore

Overshadowed by his lord
Preacherman shall learn
Tongue the flames and kiss your Angel
Preacherman shall burn

In the year of the hungry wolf
Bring us the head of the bourgeois whore
Headsman, headsman, feed the wolf
Breed the wolf
Jesus put his tongue to the gore

I shall bring you down below
There where evil dwells and grows
Take my hand now, do not fear
Follow me, my sinful dear

So
Welcome down below
Where evil dwells and grows
Bow, your sinner
In the year of the fire
