L'Orfeo, Atto secondo: III. Ahi, caso acerbo!

歌詞

In an age of darkness, when evil stalks the land Rise up holy soldiers, riding under God's command Believing is deceiving, can you hear my lupine cry Listen to my holy words or prepare your soul to die Pre Chorus: Rising up your armies And purging the land Striking them dead With your healing hand Chorus: All destructive unrepentive Ignorance is killing life All consuming unforgiving Someone save me from the light... Burned at the stake, and stoned to death Cleansing the land, 'til there's nothing left Behead the heretic, none shall stand in our way Killing in the name of god, for daring to have a say
