lyrics

[Part 1: Divide...]

(Instrumental)


[Part 2: In the sign of the cross]

(the Messiah)

How much blood before I die?
How much pain must I cry?
Is it worth this suffering?
Was this the way, as been foreseen?
Come you all, come see the nails
and the wood scratching my skin.
Here's the day, praise and sing,
'cause today I'll bear your sins.

And the wind from the desert, it hurts,
in a way that I never believed.
And the kiss of the sand on my wounds
makes me fear there is no one with me.

(the Messiah, the Prophet)

And I walk on my feet, on earth,
in this path of a future concealed.
Will my steps leave a trace in time?
Will this sacrifice last after me?

(CHORUS, the Messiah)

KILL THE FATHER, KILL THE SON.
May this day resound in milleniums.
LOSE THE PROPHET, FIND THE GOD.

(the Messiah)

Why am I abandoned here
in this overwhelming fear?
From the sky no crying falls,
I'm alone with flesh and sores.
Are you my father, oh god,
or am I the son of a different one?
Just a lamb,
sent and lost in a far land.

(the Messiah, the Prophet)

And I walk on my feet, on earth,
in this path of a future concealed.
Will my steps leave a trace in time?
Will this sacrifice last after me?

(CHORUS, the Messiah)

KILL THE FATHER, KILL THE SON.
May this day resound in milleniums.
LOSE THE PROPHET, FIND THE GOD.

(the Prophet)

One prophet, one man,
only one will stand after this day.
One reason, one chance,
and the stone is rolling to the end of Rome.

(the Messiah, CHORUS)

A new faith will born,
they won't be forlorn,
the poor and the wretched
togheter will pray, PATER NOSTER QUI ES IN CAELIS
outside of the temple,
empowered by heart,
though slaughtered and slain.
Come what may. PATER NOSTER QUI ES IN CAELIS

(Chorus)

IN A LAND SO FAR FROM ROME
A NEW KING FROM POORNESS BORN
RAISED AN ARMY WITH HIS LOVE.
AND HIS SOLDIERS, MARCHING FAST,
REPLACED EAGLES ON THE FLAGS
WITH THE MEMORY OF HIS PAIN,
'CAUSE FROM THEN AS TIME GOES ON
THEY ARE ONLY GOING TO FIGHT
IN THE SACRED SIGN OF THE CROSS.


[Part 3: ...et impera]

(the Dictator, the Prophet)

CONSUESSE ENIM DEOS IMMORTALES,
QUO GRAVIUS HOMINES EX COMMUTATIONE RERUM DOLEANT,
QUOS PRO SCELERE EORUM ULCISCI VELINT,
HIS SECUNDIORES INTERDUM RES
ET DIUTURNIOREM IMPUNITATEM CONCEDERE. (De Bello Gallico, GAIUS IULIUS CAESAR)


[Part 4: The voice]

(the Dictator)

I hear a voice
rising from the streets.
I hear this voice,
an unbearable whispering.
I hate that voice,
such a horrible desease.

From the darkness of a cave,
from the mouth of poors and slaves,
I hear a voice.

FIND THEM, FIND THE ONES,
STOP THE PRAYERS, KILL AND BURN.
EVERYWHERE, EVERYONE,
EVERY STREET, EVERY TURN.

(the Prophet)

One rising, one fall,
this story goes to a new decay.
One power, one faith,
and today is running to the end of Rome.

(the Dictator)

I hear a voice
and it's loud and nearer.
I heard the voice
from far though clearer.
I fear the voice,
now it spreads into the seas.

"Thy kingdom come" they say
in a circus, killed though braves.
I hear a voice.

FIND THEM, FIND THE ONES,
STOP THE PRAYERS, KILL AND BURN.
EVERYWHERE, EVERYONE,
EVERY STREET, EVERY TURN.

(Chorus)

Pater noster qui es in caelis...

(Chorus)

IN A LAND SO FAR FROM ROME
A NEW KING FROM POORNESS BORN
RAISED AN ARMY WITH HIS LOVE.
AND HIS SOLDIERS, MARCHING FAST,
STILL HAVE EAGLES ON THE FLAGS
BUT THAT MEMORY'S NOT IN VAIN,
'CAUSE FROM THEN AS TIME GOES ON
THEY ARE ONLY GOING TO FIGHT
WITH THE SACRED SIGN OF THE CROSS.

(the Prophet)

One prophet, one man...
One rising, one fall...
