Father, can you hear the tolling of the bells

Echo a hundred thousand sons who wish you well?

Tears will pour from the Golden Eagle now

He watches as your soul departs

The fields and the sanctuaries soon will overflow

With the solidarity of hearts



Into our lives you came

With us you will remain

You were given to the fight

To the terror of the night

And the many crimes of Cain



Gravely the Black Madonna walks the winter streets

Bright are the many flowers strewn about her feet

Strong is the spirit of a people scorned

Their freedom is a gift of God

Sweet are the children who hold the legacy

Of the solidarity of Hearts



Into our lives you came

With us you will remain

Oh, forgive us all our trespasses

And we will forgive

The many crimes of Cain

The many crimes of Cain
