Night Of Saint-Bartholomew - текст песни
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!
