"Waarom moet er een uitweg zijn"
Zei de clown tegen de bard
"De tijden mogen anders zijn
Ze blijven flink verward
Zakenlui drinken wijn
Boeren ploegen voort
En jij, die God verloochent hebt
Rammelt aan de hemelpoort"
"Geen reden om je op te winden"
Sprak de bard op kalme toon
"Het leven is geen lolletje
Dat zie je aan Gods zoon
Ook Hij ontkwam niet aan zijn lot
Het gaat zoals het gaat
Wie de wereld wil verbeteren
Wordt gekruisigd, vroeg of laat"
"Dus, schaar je rond de wachttoren
De prinses houdt er de wacht
Iedereen kan Judas zijn
In deze heksenjacht
Buiten, in de verte
Houdt het geweeklaag aan
En overal ter wereld
Stroomt onschuld uit de kraan"
