Letra

Here chalices are hammered into swords
And helmets Christ’s blood sold in pints and quarts
His cross and thorns turned into spears and shields
Yet still Christ’s gentle patience falls on us!
Oh let Him not come down again on earth
His precious blood would stream among the stars
To see in Rome His flayed skin merchandised
And the way barred to everything that’s good
If I should ever hanker after riches
Now that my work here can no longer flower
The Coped One wields Medusa’s deadly power
And although heaven welcomes poverty
Just how can we restore our blessed state
If we abide under an alien flag?
Written by: Dmitri Shostakovich
