(I wish to speak to you today about the tragedy of Europe)

A maiden by the seaside was taken from her land
On a bull across the waves 'til they reached foreign strand
Her father, a great king, less human than divine
In godhood she will find - Twelve stars in azure skies

(This noble continent, comprising the fairest and the most cultivated regions of the Earth, is the home of all the great parent races of the western world. It is the origin of most of the culture, arts, philosophy and science both of ancient and modem times)

Stronghold walls of Uruk, Etemanaki's fane
Mighty rock of Zion your legacies remain
Aeneas left his mother Troy, summer birds search for new lands
The Goddess sends her siren's call, across the continents

On a strong white bull, the Goddess rides
In the darkest night twelve stars will rise
Daughter of the East in an azure gown
Our New Jerusalem we found

And I saw brothers fighting, not for honour but for gold
Deceived by foreign agents like cattle we are sold
Oh lady give me answer! Pray, make me understand!
Will brothers fight forever? Will they be one again?

Can they be as one again?

[Goddess:]
"My son. War is forever. It's the father of all men
But brothers once united will stand as one again
My touch was felt in Dublin, my voice was heard in Spain
Ten thousand years may pass by, but this fortress shall remain"

There are shadows over Athens and Rome still lies in flames
In these days when need is great, there's no heroes there's no saints
And when the night is darkest, Prometheus' torch will burn
And the Goddess on her white bull - though she never left - returns

On a strong white bull, the Goddess rides
In the darkest night twelve stars will rise
Daughter of the East in an azure gown
Our New Jerusalem we found x4

(This noble continent; it is the fountain of Christian faith and Christian ethics. If Europe were once united in the sharing of its common inheritance, there would be no limit to the happiness, to the prosperity and glory which its three or four hundred million people would enjoy)
