Disturbing the peace
Of the night for a raid.
Stealing goods taken
Through greed.

A playtoy transcendental
Powers had made.
This is the thing
That you need.

Hand of glory!
Stopping all the sleepers
From awakening this night.

Hand of glory!
Witchcraft triumphs in joy
While the fingers are set alight.

All who live in
This house fell asleep.
The hand was making
Them drowse.

Now there's time to
Take all that you need.
No hindrance to plundering
This house.

Hand of glory!
Stopping all the sleepers
From awakening this night.

Hand of glory!
Witchcraft triumphs in joy
While the fingers are set alight.

First you need a hanged man's corpse,
Cut off the left hand and preserve it.
But dress it not with tannin pure,
Witches know the right mixture.

The hand makes successful
Your robbery well,
But just take care
Of the thumb.

If it don't burn someone's
Not in the spell,
And he'll discover
Your plan.

Hand of glory!
Stopping all the sleepers
From awakening this night.

Hand of glory!
Witchcraft triumphs in joy
While the fingers are set alight.
