By Pavel Chichikov
The day a jury, judgment
Angels dawn in session
Each silent cloud a robe
Each soul of earth confession
Defendants are the living
Witnesses the dead
Bailiffs are the murdered
Rising from their beds
Silence in the courtroom
A falling angel says:
Bow to the Eternal!
Oyez! Oyez! Oyez!
