Soften our evil hearts oh mother of kindness 
Smother the storms of those who hate us 
The cruelty of our hearts is the ominous danger 
Let us not harm one another 
Soften our evil hearts, 
Breathe your wisdom onto earth 
The human life-fire is blood 
Seven spires inside your heart, we won’t add another 
May love rule in the death of poison and dwell therein 
Hate is like the sharpness of dying 
Use our hearts as drums 
and rule over us with love 
Compunction will awaken the grave 
Ignite our souls with your warming light 
May wrath die in its false desire 
For in life and joy we shall strive 
We are all born in hunger 
And you offer your breast 
With impunity we rob you 
And make your heart bleed with boundless grief 
Allow faith to lighten our blindness 
Let us kiss your wounds 
and drink a pearl of wisdom therein
