Cover art for Hallowed Be Thy Name (Iron Maiden cover) lyrics by Cradle of Filth

This song is about the old witch trials hundreds of years ago. People were killed like filthy animals for entertainment in front of cheering crowds just because they were considered to be witches. And the only reason they were was so society could have a scapegoat to blame for their own mistakes. The exacutions were all comitted in the name of God hence the name of the song.
