For All Those Who Died Lyrics

For all those who cried aloud
But whose tears were never heard
For questioning one almighty father
Of a heavenly distanced worldBeloved thee who submit
The holy writings assured
The golden cross stained with innocent blood
But stand yet a thousand heavenwardBurning naked but smiling
Not full of fear but pride
Knowing death alone could cleanse them
Of the reasons for which they all dieFor all those who diedFor all those whose great beauty
Stirred their torturers to rage
And for all those whose great ugliness
Did the sameFor all those who cried aloud in vain
For mercy on the rack
But whom of dying naked in scorn
Not ashamedBurning naked but smiling
Not full of fear but pride
Knowing death alone could cleanse them

Of the reasons for which they all diedFor all those who diedPleas for mercy signs of guilt
Naked bodies broken on the wheel
Tears sign the confession
With crusted blood lips sealedTrial by water
For all those who died
