But the murderer Barrabas, over me they did pick
In public my...

Cutting off my nose to spite my face
When on purpose I beat my chest in cribs
Where restraint, respect and reflection erase the trace and brace

their modern eyes cast baleful stares,
passing their false prophet's law,
upon his ancient blood;
