Night of Saint-Bartholomew |
| On the twenty-fourth of August, |
| 1572 in Paris was terrible bloodshed |
| Name of this carnage in history is the |
| Night Of Saint-Bartholomew… |
| In the midst of wars by religion |
| When the rivers of blood gushed |
| Fratricide was (with gory contagion) |
| For the peace and name of God |
| At the awful moonlit night |
| Cathedral bells of Saint-Germain l’Auxerrois |
| Sounded, rang to the infamous fight, |
| Christian love was devitalized |
| At the sign of all Parisian church bells |
| Ranting hordes killed without sense |
| When the strange nocturnal mass started |
| Murderers from gore were soulless… |
| At the horrible moonlit night |
| Selected doors were stigmatized |
| With the shameful white crosses, |
| The poor lives doomed by death |
| Impiety — in the name of Jesus Christ, |
| Brutality — because of the Supernal Light |
| Disembowelment — in the name of Angels and Saints, |
| Dismemberment — because of the Religious Faith |
| Torches illuminated the face of slayers, |
| Swords and spears were in hands of slaughterers, |
| This Unmerciful Night was Revel of the Deathmen |
| In the Valley Of Misery, |
| Where the river always spilt, |
| Bloody corpses and dying victims |
| Floated on the Sanguine Stream |
| At this sanguinary night was bloodbath — |
| — In the name of Christ, — |
| — Where was Royal Law? |
| - |
| — Where was Christian Love? |
| - |
| In the midst of wars by religion |
| When the streams of gore gushed |
| Fratricide was (with bloody confusion) |
| For the quiet and name of God |
| At the dreadful moonlit night |
| Cathedral bells of Saint-Germain l’Auxerrois |
| Sounded, rang to dishonest fight, |
| Christian laws were devitalized |
| At the sign… Were Soulless! |
