| Ghost with gentle voices, calling us never to wake
|
| And we see another nation rising from the ashes…
|
| Soon to unearth what we cannot escape
|
| As time draws near for all of us Make amend, dear tyrant
|
| And be my ominous companion
|
| Through horrors' eye we’ll seek vision lost to the sheep;
|
| Rapt and fitfully chained
|
| Hear the trumpets' sound!
|
| The angels of discord are gathering;
|
| Such beautiful faces, such poisonous tongues;
|
| A dead world assembly…
|
| Into the world you brought me And after your world you wrought me With a finger to your mouth
|
| And I lost myself in the sea;
|
| Carrying the waves of time
|
| There’s nothing to believe
|
| And you ask me why I grieve
|
| Make amend, dear tyrant
|
| And be my ominous companion
|
| Through horrors' eye we’ll seek vision lost to the sheep;
|
| Rapt and fitfully chained
|
| «Earth raised up her head
|
| From the darkness' dread and drear
|
| Her light fled, and her locks covered with grey despair»
|
| (William Black 1757−1827)
|
| Hear the trumpets' sound!
|
| Our empire stifles and crumbles
|
| This terrible loss will generate us Gone from this dead world assembly…
|
| Here is the void
|
| Here is the cross we carry with us Through this dead world assembly |
