lyrics

October the 28th, 312, the Milvian bridge, near the city of Rome:

Roman legions of Constantine the Great:
"Raise the Cross, raise the Cross, raise the Cross, raise the Cross!"

Gaius, a soldier:
"I hear them chanting but I remain silent…
I wonder why our emperor has decided to choose another God
A god that we don't know anything about
They told us to do this, so like every soldier, I obey without dissent, I obey without meaning
The meaning of my life… I am so young now but so many men I have already killed…
Since I was a child, I've wondered if the gods are real!
So why would this one be different?"

Roman legions of Constantine the Great:
"Raise the Cross, raise the Cross!
And with this sign we shall win!
Raise the Cross! Raise the Cross! Raise the Cross!
And with this sign you shall die!"

Gaius:
"How strange are the gods who want the death of thousands of men like me…
I am so sad of this madness that shall come soon because I saw this so many times

I read the story of the Roman Empire, I learnt it from my father,
He told me about the gods, his doubt about their existence
He observed the same things, new emperor, new conquest, new gods, old pain
I must remember this, I must choose the freedom of reason!

Attack!
Battle rages on, I see the bridge of Milvian and my emperor is winning
Maxentius is drowning, Constantine looks at me and I can see our future, being chanted by the legions."

Roman legions of Constantine the Great:
"We are the soldiers of a new god
We are the soldiers of a new god
Raise the Cross, raise the Cross
This god shall kill them all!
This god shall kill us all!"
