Lyrics

Siebter Spruch
Freund, streiten ist nicht g'nug, du mußt auch überwinden,
wo du willst ew'ge Ruh und ew'gen Frieden finden!
The Mercenary
I know that’s Death – I hear his call.
I’ve dispatched many to his thrall,
And now the sword I wielded best
Has turned, and points at my own breast.
Will no-one now his pardon give?
I beg you, Death, please let me live
And serve my God, whom I betrayed
When I took up my bloody trade!
Death
Enough complaints. Step up, don’t tarry!
Take up the burden you must carry,
And carry alone, though it’s heavy, I know.
Your deeds unquestionably show
The good and evil you have wrought;
Your punishment is measured out
Accordingly; you cannot flee.
Time’s up, O Sailor! Here to me!
Written by: Angelus Silesius, Hugo Distler
