Do Not Rejoice At the Altar
You are happy
relatives, friends are happy
But your minds are blind
the bride is not here
Do not rejoice at the altar
The ring you fix
You do not know its truth
I am not the bride
She is not present with you
Do not rejoice at the altar
The bride you wed
Is not seeing you
She is gone with the winds
She whistles with wind winds
Do not rejoice at the altar
The vows you make
Are written on a river
You are not the bridegroom
the real one lies waiting yonder
Do not rejoice at the altar
You are happy
But merely with a shadow
The white gown I wear
Hides the secret agenda of reality
Do not rejoice at the altar
Do not rejoice at the Altar×2
