Survey of the arch


Aria of Sarastro


Within these sacred halls

Within these sacred halls
Revenge we do not know,
And if a man should fall,
Love leads him to his duty.
Then he walks at friend's hand,
Enjoyed and cheerful to a better land.
Within these sacred walls,
Where each man loves his neighbour,
The traitor cannot lurk,
for enemies are forgiven.
He, who is not delighted by this doctrine,
Does not deserve to be a human being.


End of reflections
