You ‘d have thought
They would have finally understood
The gravity of it all

Surrounded as they were
The legions with their catapults
Battering on the walls

And yet they fought
From street to street
Each night among themselves
As if the Romans were across the sea

Who did no more
Than under their finally angry god
Help them all to die

yes strong words

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~
