My enemy sends wind and waves,
and with fierce wrath he strikes,
but he will never darken
a heart that believes in its Lord.
It is tied with a heavenly cord,
stronger than the chains of hell,
and there’s no way a roaring lion,
can take away my eternal reward.
He will watch his wounded jaws
from the Sword that sharply pierced him,
for against his dark authority,
not flesh from earth, but lightning rises.
And caves will not conceal him,
not even deep pits in the earth,
when God says to him: "Tremble!
I bring you recompense for your deeds!"
My enemy sends wind and waves.
A sign that he has little time left.
Even if he succeeded in wounding me,
every wound turns into honor.
And my pain? It’s just a sign,
that I’m still on the Path and alive,
and in the battle with the unseen foe,
only with Christ will I prevail...
