Night Of Saint-Bartholomew Lyrics

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!
