Add insult to injury
Think the prosperous
Strike the fellow now
That he is staggering!
And yet the houses of brigands
Are left in peace
Those who provoke the Truth
Dwell secure
Wisdom is found in the old ?
Discretion comes with great age ?
Can the ear not distinguish
The value of what is said ?
If there is a drought
Discretion withheld the waters
If they play havoc on earth
He has let them loose
The country's counsellors
Are robbed of their wits
The judges are turned into fools
The belts of kings undone
And a rope knotted round their waists

Luther, nový Porfyrios
05:36
|

For now a new Porphyry rises
His obfuscations and intransigence
Incited the fist of Cajetan
The error spread irreversible
With his house unconfirmed
The tongue starts to spew the hatred
As he sees his cause to be condemned
And springs to insults
When he wathes them to bevanquished
For although You have said
That there must be heresies
To test the faithful
Still they must be destroyed
So they do not wax strong
Like your wolves

Včera mne, dnes tebe
06:52
|

Shed tears over the dead
Lament for them to show your sorrow
Bury the body with due ceremony
And do not fail to honour the grave
Weep bitterly, beat your breast
Observe the mourning for a day or two
To avoid censorious comment
Then be comforted in your sorrow
For grief can lead to death
A grief-stricken heart loses all energy
In affliction sorrow persists
A life of grief is hard to bear
Do not abandon your heart to grief
Drive it away, bear your own end in mind
Do not forget, there is no coming back
Remember my doom, since it will be yours too;
I yesterday, you today!

His brightness is
Like the day
Rays flash from his hands
That is where his power lies hidden
Pestilence goes before him
And Plague follows close behind
With his glance
He makes the nations quake
The eternal mountains are dislodged
With the earth trembling
The everlasting hills sink down
His pathway from of old
Are you enraged with the rivers
Are you angry with the sea
That you should mount your chargers
Your rescuing chariots?
Great floods sweep by
The abyss roars aloud
Lifting high its waves
Sun and moon stay inside their dwellings
You uncover your bow
And give the string its fill of arrows
You drench the soil with torrents
In rage you stride across the land
In anger you trample the nations
