[Grammar] have spoke, have broke

[mmasny]

Are these forms correct? Where, when and by whom can they be used?
I thought they were both incorrect dialect/slang forms as said by Rocky: 'I should've broke your thumb!'
But the same I see in the song by Uriah Heep, 'Lady in Black': 'Thus having spoke she turned away'. The song is maintained in biblical style. So, I am confused and waiting hopefully for your response.

Neither is correct.

So why did the band put such a form in their song? Can you explain what was their purpose? The whole song is very pompous so it seems a bit strange to me that the author used an improper form. I suppose there is some reason for which it sounds grandiloquent but why shoud a slang expression sound this way?

In lyrics, grammar does not matter that much.
The rhyme and rhythm is more important.
That's why you should never analyze lyrics' grammar and try to learn them.
(Not all songs use bad grammar, but you should use other sources for English.)

I should have broken your thumb.

And are you 100% sure he says "broke"?

Sometimes I misunderstand things when I listen.

Cheers!

Yes, I'm pretty sure. There's no trace of [n] at all... You seem not to be familiar with such a form, are you? I think I understand it now, thank you very much.

So true! So very, very true!
