Pressed to Death

By Maleficium · Death Metal

This was the first Maleficium track. This method was used in medieval England, but even the mongols did that, building a yurt above the russian princes, and slowly crushing them, while their army was dining above them.

"York, 1586 — mark the place

Margaret Clitherow pressed for faith

Eight hundred pounds to end belief

Conviction crushed into relief

A handkerchief tied over her face

Stripped bare, then laid down

A fist-sized rock beneath her back

Pressed beneath her own front door"
