Hear ye! Hear ye! the devoted faithful,
defending love from the vile and hateful
Protect virtue from wicked desires,
purify the fallen in Satanic fires
The wicked, torture you for spite,
shackled to cold, stone walls
Laughing at your shrinking ego,
licking the tears from your feet
It’s words, echo in village squares,
town criers, medieval jesters
Entertaining the pious, the loyal,
bound to deceit, free from forgiveness
Its writings spark funeral pyres,
floating cinders, fidelity in ashes
Mercy drowns in the teardrops,
of a blackened heart
Snakes in her hair, nesting in the garden,
hoods, prayers, rites of condemnation
Virginal sacrament, a chalice in red,
cleanse the wicked in hell
Hear ye! Hear ye! the devoted faithful,
defending love from the vile, the hateful
Protect virtue from wicked desires,
purify the fallen in Satanic Fires.
