11. Rote Messe (Red Mass)
Zu grausem Abendmahle,
Beim Blendeglanz des Goldes,
Beim Flackerschein der Kerzen,
Naht dem Altar - Pierrot!
Die Hand, die gottgeweihte,
Zerreißt die Priesterkleider
Zu grausem Abendmahle,
Beim Blendeglanz des Goldes
Mit segnender Geberde
Zeigt er den bangen Seelen
Die triefend rote Hostie:
Sein Herz - in blutgen Fingern -
Zu grausem Abendmahle!
For a terrible Last Supper,
By the murk gleam of gold,
By flickering candlelight
Near the altar--Pierrot
His hand, the annointed,
Rips up the priest's vestments
For a terrible Last Supper
By the murk gleam of gold.
With consecrated bearing
He shows the anxious souls
The dripping red Host:
His heart--in bloodied fingers--
For a terrible Last Supper
