| Menschheit vor Feuerschl nden aufgestellt | A |
| Ein Trommelwirbel dunkler Krieger Stirnen | E |
| Schritte durch Blutnebel schwarzes Eisen schellt | A |
| Verzweiflung Nacht in traurigen Gehirnen | E |
| Hier Evas Schatten Jagd und rotes Geld | A |
| Gew lk das Licht durchbricht das Abendmahl | D |
| Es wohnt in Brot und Wein ein sanftes Schweigen | E |
| Und jene sind versammelt zw lf an Zahl | D |
| Nachts schrein im Schlaf sie unter lbaumzweigen | E |
| Sankt Thomas taucht die Hand ins Wundenmal | D |
