Rubén Darío - Song Of Hope lyrics
[Rubén Darío - Song Of Hope lyrics]
A great flock of crows is staining the sky
The winds of millennial plagues blow by
In the far eastern war, many men die
Is this a sign of the Antichrist's birth?
Apocalyptic omens of the earth
That foreshadow Christ's imminent return?
The globe is pregnant with a pain so deep
The imperial dreamer gets no sleep
And in his own chest
Feels the world's heartbeat
Torturers plagued the earth with their ideals
Humans drown in what a dark pool conceals:
Three Greek syllables that hatred reveals
Oh, Lord Jesus, what are you waiting for?
Extend your hand of light over the hordes
And make your holy banners shine once more
Show yourself right now and
Pour life's essence
Over souls gone mad without your presence
Who forgot your dawn in their dark offense
Come, Lord, and make manifest your glories
Make stars tremble, cast your calamities
Bridge the abyss with your
Love and your peace
Let your visionary white horse renew
Us and let the divine trumpets sound, too
My heart will burn like incense within you
The winds of millennial plagues blow by
In the far eastern war, many men die
Is this a sign of the Antichrist's birth?
Apocalyptic omens of the earth
That foreshadow Christ's imminent return?
The globe is pregnant with a pain so deep
The imperial dreamer gets no sleep
And in his own chest
Feels the world's heartbeat
Torturers plagued the earth with their ideals
Humans drown in what a dark pool conceals:
Three Greek syllables that hatred reveals
Oh, Lord Jesus, what are you waiting for?
Extend your hand of light over the hordes
And make your holy banners shine once more
Show yourself right now and
Pour life's essence
Over souls gone mad without your presence
Who forgot your dawn in their dark offense
Come, Lord, and make manifest your glories
Make stars tremble, cast your calamities
Bridge the abyss with your
Love and your peace
Let your visionary white horse renew
Us and let the divine trumpets sound, too
My heart will burn like incense within you
