The hyms are sung before the altars,
The mortal blood is spilled like wine,
The hangmen beautify the martyrs,
Lord is good, death is young. I saw feared heroes, I heard cowards boast, I saw tears keep on running from dead eyes. I'm no more a nound; I need no command. Just what throat to tear or what hand to lick. I pray to starve to steal or lay Di e Rather than to be a king's favorite freak.
