Judicator - Let There Be Light
Only recently I failed, and yet I bore no punishmentSo here's the tale, aa battle lost the fields beside Callinicum
The Persians swept into our land, (and) on Easter Day we came in range
The men were firm they wanted blood on this, a day meant for the Lord
But bound to fast, they tired quick and so the Persians rolled us up
Awoken from the mist of haunted, dimlit daydreams, I sharply snapped back into focus
Our ally Hilderic in former Roman Africa has been imprisoned by (a) usurper
Ocean waves slap the hull
Sunbeams yonder pierce the clouds
Our destiny to liberate our kinsmen who, as of now, face persecution
O stavros nika, oh let there be light
I'll bear my cross of guilt and walk up to the mark
O stavros nika, oh let there be light
May I redeem myself from Callinicum
Our mission is holy, as the Vandals permit piracy and persecute the orthodox
This isn't vainglory, but rather just reconquest
So Gelimer, your time is nigh!
Ocean waves slap the hull
Sunbeams yonder pierce the clouds
On either side, my wife and godson stand proud
And back at home our daughter waits
O stavros nika, oh let there be light
I'll bear my cross of shame and march on through the mire
O stavros nika, oh let there be light
May I redeem myself from Callinicum
Golden rays crack the clouds
Shimmering shoreline smiles
Oh my God, hear our prayers
Condescend out of mercy
Give us strength, give us courage
Let us fear you evermore
Golden rays crack the clouds
Shimmering shoreline smiles
And my wife, Antonina
May she be ever by my side
