Bach, St Matthew Passion - The Bach Choir
Climate Of Fear
bodies and blood
screams in the dark
in tears of grief
the belgians mourn
for their dead
hearts cry to thee
o saviour dear
hold your love close
in the reign of terror
rest thou softly
softly here
hold your love close
who knows
what lies ahead
rest thou softly
softly here
Prayer For the Dead
Requiem aeternam dona eis,Domine
Et lux perpetua luceat eis
Requiescant in pace
Amen

ReplyDeleteIt is my deepest prayer that those lost are resting in His arms and that comfort is surrounding the families!

ReplyDeleteA powerful and heartfelt lament for the innocents of Brussels, Rall. Bach's divine music is the perfect requiem for the dead of Belgium. When will we ever grow wise as species? Will it happen before we blow ourselves and the planet up, I wonder?
ReplyDeleteIt is divine isn't it. I make sure I play this on my blog every Easter.As a species it does not look as if we will ever be wise.Happy Easter Nick !
