La nuit de Bartolomei Lyrics


A fine sunshine day of august dated 1572

…all the stages set

…all the hoard brilliant

burgess dressed in festive attire

town ablazed and festal ever

going to hold a conciliating celebration

under cover of wedding

slaughter!..undercovered cowards and friends

murder!..indulgence in the name of Messiah

massacre!..highlights of the wedding feast

creed!..hate and demise

thousands of flowers flit about

overwhelming their dark steps to altar

on the path that´s without a love

entangled in a secrecy of treason and revenge

both believing that's the way to do

but playing the white figures

in the hands of the forceful fanaticized catholics

the ones without souls

just like an angry dogs

horny for the bloody hooray

…all the brilliant, all the festal

a feast about to burst out

King´s exploited and scared

makes a getback of no mercy

the pogrom have begun

against Hugenot guests

fratricidal horror strife

in the name of God

human narrow-mindedness

the inflation knows no bounds

triumphed over life and death
