(A Caceres Translation) We shall sing out our Saviour's glory! O mystery! O wondrous story! Of Your Eucharistic presence In this sacramental essence! O living Bread! O Fount of graces! Here! For us! In this sacred place! 'Twas foretold that a noble maiden A virgin pure, with graces laden, Would give birth to our Redeemer. Dreamt by every maiden dreamer, It came to pass when Mary bore You!

-I- All things dark and booty-full         All rackets great and small All things rank and plunder-full         This "New Republic" has them all! Decreed a day of "thanksgiving"         Is September Twenty-One The advent of martial power         The power of the gun! A formal Constitution         Approved by show of hands; By voters and non-voters         In parks and grandstands! With a Sixth Amendment         The loyalists' excuse There can't be legislation         Against the Monarch's views. And now, the Agrava Commission         The only ones who still don't know Ninoy was slain for but one reason         He was Marcos' foremost foe. The feats of engineering         The pyramids of steel With billions disappearing     ...
