Antiphon XI (Mode Pl. II)

de Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology St. Romanos the Melodist Byzantine Choir

Watch, my son, these ruins
Watch across the fires
Take my hand my child
We must take our part

You and I won't follow
Hou and I won't fail
Who but you can break
What their greed and lies have made?

Make the crumbling walls of rome
Listen to the iberian warriors' song

Hand by hand be broken
Hand by hand be made
Swear to me my son
That you will carry this load

Make your bows to melqart
Lead your beasts and march
Gods, monsters and men
Shall be by your side
Run, my chind, into the night
And tell me what your pure clean eyes can see
Back to where it all began the wolves
Are struggling for a piece of meat
Wash your face with oil
Clean your teeth with blood
Bath your hands in gold
Bury my heart in the dirt

Deep inside now I can see
An old man burning bridges with a torch

Your name is cursed please forgive me
These hatred eyes I was too blind to see
Deep inside now I can see
And old men burning bridges with a torch
