Antioch |
Stand alone among the throngs, I blaspheme silently |
Nobody knows my private crime |
Walk with me |
Outside the city of Antioch |
Crusaders patiently laying siege |
Until the day came for Raynald Porchet |
The knight was captured 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 or lift the siege |
You must persist |
Please fight hard, I’ve seen that behind the walls they are weakened |
Keep your resolve |
On his knees before the general, who offered anything if he’d apostatize |
The clever Raynald 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 apostatize» |
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, Raynald was paraded before us |
Helplessly, I watched him kneel |
One last time, a smile he offered to me before he died |
The headless saint of Antioch |
