i rise to greet franz jaegerstatter
blessed today in his defiance
defiance he wore as a robe of nobility
a robe that insisted murder is wrong
what are we to say,
he lost his head over a robe?
there are those who sing truth when confronted
with the sentence of termination
though it comes to all it comes to some
with the singing of angels
when words of beauty stand
in stark and mad defiance against
the insanity of man's morbid mind
and pleads with a song
for the precious beauty of every soul
franz jaegerstatter franz jaegerstatter
let us sing the name again and again
