This is the wasted land, oh Sibyl! With ruins dotted, fragments and human bones With terror and fear This is the wasted land, oh Sibyl! The expellee's burnt house Smashed cross of those crucified This is the wasted land, oh Sibyl... That tanks have rooted up That violence has splashed with blood That blasphemers have degraded In misdeed's insane head And in their devilish nothingness This is, indeed, the wasted land Oh you, sterile mistress This is the wasted land, oh Sibyl... Look at this phenix taking wing - Thou hast told us, Oh Lord, thou savest me, Oh Lord, oh Saviour, For all's in flames But they can't burn up the whole of it. This is the wasted land, oh Sibyl...
