Is not locked with seven precious seals | B |
It has no charms nor light of heaven | A |
And the people don't know that it is | C |

It's a doorway in a wall forgotten | A |
Stones moss and nothing more else | D |
Near stands a beggar and the rotten | A |

Paladins ride by in agitation | A |
Trumpets wail and minted silver chant | F |
Nobody spares his attention | A |
To the Peter the Apostle the saint | G |

They dream There by Sepulchre of Savor | H |
Paradise will open doors for us | I |
At the footing of the Mount Thabor | H |

In the air the trumpets ring and wail | L |
The Apostle in the tattered cloth | M |
Like a beggar looks and poor and pale | L |
