Antioch Songtext
von Judicator

Stand alone among the throngs, I blaspheme
Nobody knows my private crime, walk with me

Outside the city of Antioch
Perseus patiently made sit
Until the day came for the day of the shame
The knights were scattered and paraded on the walls
I will not plead or beg
Upon the walls, there on his knees
He′s on his way back home

No ransom
Don't you pay for my life′s cost
Lift the siege
You must persist
Please fight hard
I've seen them behind the walls
They are weakened
Keep your resolve


On his knees, before the general
Who offered anything if he opposed
Antiochus of Cleopatra
Asked for some time
To think about the proposition that he faced
For days on end, so piously
He prayed unto his god
I won't depart the time

He used the time
To pray and ask for the strength
To be prepared
For what God willed
It wasn′t long
Before an interpreter found him
Out and saw
He wouldn′t capitulate

Just like the Jews who could not sing
Their song of God on foreign soil
These blasphemies kept in my mind
Could turn into a cross to bear


On the walls
Raynaud was paraded before us
Helplessly
I watched him kneel
One last time
A smile he offered to me
Before he died
A headless saint of Antioch
