The final scene from Makavejev's WR: Mysteries of the Organism features this haunting song
written by the Soviet underground poet Bulat Okudzhava.
THE PRAYER OF FRANÇOIS VILLON
by Bulat Okudzhava
As long as the earth still turns, as long as the light is clear.
Lord, grant to everyone - that which they lack.
To the wise grant a sound mind - for the coward procure a horse.
Give money to the contented - and please don’t forget about me.
I know you are capable of everything, I believe in your wisdom.
As the fallen soldier, believes he will live again in paradise;
As every ear listens and believes in your silent words.
As we ourselves believe - not knowing what we create.
