War Requiem, Op. 66 / Agnus Dei - Agnus Dei - V. One ever Hangs Where Shelled Roads Part - Peter Pears/London Symphony Chorus/The Bach Choir/Melos Ensemble/London Symphony Orchestra/Benjamin Britten

Lyrics by：Wilfred Owen

Composed by：Benjamin Britten

One ever hangs where shelled roads part

In this war he too lost a limb

But his disciples hide apart

And now the soldiers bear with him

Near golgatha strolls many a priest

And in their faces there is pride

That they were flesh-marked by the beast

By whom the gentle Christ's denied

The scribes on all the people shove

And bawl allegiance to the state

But they who love the greater love

Lay down their life they do not hate
