Painful Sighs In Castrum Lyrics

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
