Vicisti Galilaee Lyrics

Let me lay here, time is no longer mine
I worship the Gods, they take me
Don't cry for me, I will return
When everything's gone, I'll answer

Starless night
When I fairly fell I saw an end
What's the right thing to do?
Leave my men?
Leave my dreams, fade away?
Self-denial

Where am I?
Asking... but I know the answer so well
This is Phrygia, my end
Did I fail? Did I fall from grace?
None but me says goodbye

Let me lay here, time is no longer mine
I worship the Gods, they take me
Don't cry for me, I will return
When everything's gone, I'll answer
When the Pagan Empire remembers my name

Weakening
By the loss of blood
Tireless, isn't death a reward?
I did well
So... why pain remains inside,
Still growing inside?

Making peace
I forgot what hatred did to my kin
Those who followed me know well
I've stood firm
By the Gods you know I've struggled against them
So I can die in honor

Let me lay here, time is no longer mine
I worship the Gods, they take me
Don't cry for me, I will return
When everything's gone, I'll answer
When the Pagan Empire remembers my name

How dare you, oh Fates,
To take my life so fast and let reason fall?
Hear the spears striking the shields
It's the tune which takes me higher
Foreseeing a dark age coming
The fiction of men, shall it rule the world?
Thy local creed will take all that you have
Out of Galilee shall arise no prophet

Another race
The Spring supplies
One shall fall
And another shall rise
And When thy mighty
Oh, King Helios
Touch my pale face in silence
I shall return

Let me lay here, time is no longer mine
I worship the Gods, they take me
Don't cry for me, I will return
When everything's gone, I'll answer
When the Pagan Empire remembers my name
