Heretics pushed and shoved
Through the streets
Hunted, hated and then slain
The blasphemy of politics
Below the throne
Until there would be
No scapegoat left
That wicked November
O winters gloom
Tuned from grey to red
By dying birthrights - a king
On the horizon shadows move
[Chorus]
Jus canonicum
By religion summoned
Jus canonicum
For silver and pride
Jus canonicum - jus canonicum
Hails unto the new king
Born to the ending of others
And that spiteful past
Pointed to who were next to die
[Repeat chorus]
Hails unto the new king
Born to the ending of others
And that spiteful past
Pointed to who were next to die
That wicked November
O winters gloom
Tuned from grey to red
By dying birthrights - a king
On the horizon shadows move
And the rightful had their way
On the drawing board of my deeds
Will they ever forget centuries ago
I must not let you know
(...Stepping... Stone... Stepping...)
In damp air of cellars deep
Where feuds and scorn gave no sleep
For a royal crown, in hunger
Under man-made law enslaved
[Repeat chorus]
Through the streets
Hunted, hated and then slain
The blasphemy of politics
Below the throne
Until there would be
No scapegoat left
That wicked November
O winters gloom
Tuned from grey to red
By dying birthrights - a king
On the horizon shadows move
[Chorus]
Jus canonicum
By religion summoned
Jus canonicum
For silver and pride
Jus canonicum - jus canonicum
Hails unto the new king
Born to the ending of others
And that spiteful past
Pointed to who were next to die
[Repeat chorus]
Hails unto the new king
Born to the ending of others
And that spiteful past
Pointed to who were next to die
That wicked November
O winters gloom
Tuned from grey to red
By dying birthrights - a king
On the horizon shadows move
And the rightful had their way
On the drawing board of my deeds
Will they ever forget centuries ago
I must not let you know
(...Stepping... Stone... Stepping...)
In damp air of cellars deep
Where feuds and scorn gave no sleep
For a royal crown, in hunger
Under man-made law enslaved
[Repeat chorus]
