And there is none that could deliver thou out of my hand
A madman's lantern falls broken upon unfeeling ground
What once was holiest has bled to death under our knives
Who will wipe this blood off us?

A madman's lantern falls broken upon unfeeling ground
What once was holiest has bled to death under our knives
Who will wipe this blood off us?
Who will wipe this blood off us?
