The ancient city of Jerusalem dominates you, Pontius Pilate.
|
You are ready to break into Rome, give up on everything, taking the soldiers with you.
|
You are tired of these faces, of a foreign, insincere land.
|
A dull pain beats in the temple, the day of torment has come to an end.
|
Blood for blood! |
This is not the will of people, but of the gods.
|
Death for death! |
You must not grumble, but endure.
|
Here is your hell! |
You know there is no way back.
|
Drink your poison! |
Drink, Procurator Pontius Pilate.
|
Above Golgotha - mourning darkness, you feel trouble, you yourself are not yourself.
|
Between the soldiers, from the heat of evil, two thieves and a saint are waiting for your decisions.
|
He is insane, God knows, he is guilty, only that he is alone,
|
But you whisper the verdict, the king of Judah is crucified like a thief!
|
Blood for blood! |
This is not the will of people, but of the gods.
|
Death for death! |
You must not grumble, but endure.
|
Here is your hell! |
You know there is no way back.
|
Drink your poison! |
Drink, Procurator Pontius Pilate.
|
In a silvery dream you would have gone with him
|
On the road of eternal stars, over the expanse of strict mountains.
|
You would kneel before him
|
Not ashamed of words or tears, whoever loved - he crucified.
|
You wanted to find peace at the bottom of the lake waters, Pontius Pilate.
|
You have become your own judge, but your death does not count for the eternal Power of Evil.
|
The devil remembers you, he goes to the water on Holy Night.
|
He longs to wash away the shame from you, but all in vain so far.
|
Blood for blood! |
This is not the will of people, but of the gods.
|
Death for death! |
You must not grumble, but endure.
|
Here is your hell! |
You know there is no way back.
|
Drink your poison! |
Drink, Procurator Pontius Pilate.
|
On the road of eternal stars, over the expanse of strict mountains... |
