Aria - Slavery of Illusions In the land of ancient ancestors, I grew up as an outsider And I did not honor either saints or devils I went against the wind, I went straight ahead Into the world of otherworldly and free people But I was never a slave to illusions Here they pray to God and Satan It is difficult to live without a master And everyone built a prison for themselves Believing in the righteousness of royal lies But I was never a slave to illusions Here, at the top Next to me Three white eagles circle in the sky Pride is their name Spirit and Peace And behind them, neither Good nor Evil [...]
O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.


G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
