A / Adramelch / Declaimed Prelude (The Bread and the Water)
Everything must be written, questions and answers... Save we must the heretic from himself Inquisitor, secrecy is your strength, may your authority prevail Engrave each instruction and procedure in your mind and then, Inspired by the cross, Talk to the pig-headed, impenitent stubborn heretic Talk severe or with shady persuasion Lead the impenitent to your Truth!
The bread of sorrow, the water of tribulation...
Distrust I must! Doubt I must! Instrument of the demon is the unfaithful heretic, The shrewd serpent with a bifurcated tongue must, in the end, spit the venom
Cautious, guarded I proceed with the wicked... Calm voice, patience and comprehension Behind my piercing look he will kneel down... On his knees! From the height of my throne dig into your heart My words explore your mind You know I see your ambiguity, your reserve and your terror! The evil tree darkens and puzzles you! Confess your deception and I will pardon you, you will be free. Here you lie frightened in the mud which is suffocating you. Hide you cannot from the judge who calls upon you to repent! Confess! and you will receive my pity...
A mental torture the interrogation Torture that traps the accused In the labyrinth of self-incriminating suspicion The inquisitor, in his fervor, Expounds the thoughts of the accused in his reactions, Expounds the unspoken thought
Now the Inquisitor rules: "This is the crime!" The accused confesses his sin, spontaneously; he confesses his blame against the divine order Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa. |
