Aria. When will the day come, when we can depart

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

When will the day come, when we
Can depart from the Egypt of this world?
Ah! let us quickly flee from Sodom,
Before the fire falls upon us!
Awaken, souls, from complacence
And believe, these are the end times!
