Of those that crucify thee every day

And every hour and minute of the day

And every hour and minute of the night:

With pious glee they celebrate the night

That witnessed thine appearance upon earth,

That night when angels chanted “peace on earth.”

They chanted “Peace on earth, good will to men,”

And thou wert crowned with thorns by hands of men

And thou wert spat upon by mouths of men

And thou hast been betrayed by kiss of men;
