Judicator - Gloria lyrics
[Judicator - Gloria lyrics]
Sixty years have come and gone
Since Rome did fall since glory reigned
Since Rome was ruled by Romans
By invitation of the pope we took it back
Not as conquerors, but as their liberators
Gloria – Galloping homeward gloria
Gloria – Valiant general
He’s charging desperate, shattered
Light of light, heart of hearts
While he’s gone – there is nowhere
That I can call home
Light of light, heart of hearts
Where he’s gone – there is
No guarantee he’ll come back
Hearing word that Ostrogothic
Armies were near
Belisarius led his elite guard to see
Ambushed from the rear
A foe soon recognized him
And told the Ostrogoths
"Fire on the white-faced horse"
Light of light, heart of hearts
Arrows fall like a torrent of
Rain from the sky
Light of light, heart of hearts
Protects him from a single of
A myriad of deaths
The Roman guards can hear them pleading
"Open the gates, it’s Belisarius"
Gloria – They don’t recognize him gloria
Gloria – They won’t open the gates
And still the Goths are encircling
Gloria – The general turns ‘round gloria
Gloria – Dying in glory
They faced the Goths in a last charge
Light of light, heart of hearts
Seeing them charge the Goths
With such savage success
Light of light, heart of hearts
Then they knew
These were allies at least – let them in
Most blessed, most high
Antonina runs to embrace her husband again
Since Rome did fall since glory reigned
Since Rome was ruled by Romans
By invitation of the pope we took it back
Not as conquerors, but as their liberators
Gloria – Galloping homeward gloria
Gloria – Valiant general
He’s charging desperate, shattered
Light of light, heart of hearts
While he’s gone – there is nowhere
That I can call home
Light of light, heart of hearts
Where he’s gone – there is
No guarantee he’ll come back
Hearing word that Ostrogothic
Armies were near
Belisarius led his elite guard to see
Ambushed from the rear
A foe soon recognized him
And told the Ostrogoths
"Fire on the white-faced horse"
Light of light, heart of hearts
Arrows fall like a torrent of
Rain from the sky
Light of light, heart of hearts
Protects him from a single of
A myriad of deaths
The Roman guards can hear them pleading
"Open the gates, it’s Belisarius"
Gloria – They don’t recognize him gloria
Gloria – They won’t open the gates
And still the Goths are encircling
Gloria – The general turns ‘round gloria
Gloria – Dying in glory
They faced the Goths in a last charge
Light of light, heart of hearts
Seeing them charge the Goths
With such savage success
Light of light, heart of hearts
Then they knew
These were allies at least – let them in
Most blessed, most high
Antonina runs to embrace her husband again
