And the price the dying pay

That stirs souls to gladness,
And to sadness those of kings
They know who sit upon their thrones

They played at dice with human bones,
And all the world went
And ages after ages they Knocked at God, and said
That nations but for them the living and the dead
Where the West have met
And the people cry for justice
And the mOnarchs their debt?
Where calls to

The day has when Truth shall live
And ancient Error die
It's MarseiIase marvellous
The Earth is singing now
AS the peoples find their and fulfill sacred VOW
That the stars that dance along the sky

And the universe is throbbing
With glad, triumphant peal.
