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
