歌词
Heartless Domitian sits on the throne
Yet daggers, assassins doth stalk his halls
Phantoms of menace, demons afoot
Keep him awake in his night full of dread
Beaten, imprisoned and shamed
He's cast before the emperor who'll seal his Fate
His reign of terror has thus begun
And gore washes over the arena's sand
Philosophers hunted; whoever speaks up
Shall perish in dungeons deep, cold and dark
Beaten, imprisoned and shamed
He's cast before the emperor who'll seal his Fate
The man living in fear can never be free
The wrath of the tyrant – a terror to the weak
Shall never spell silence for Apollonius' lips
"I serve only one mistress and her name is Truth!"
The eyes of the world are staring aghast
"You have no power to rule over me!"
The tyrant is furious – he's calling for blood
Yet lo! His shackles unfastened, the sage stand free
Beaten, imprisoned and shamed
He's cast before the emperor who'll seal his Fate
Defying Domitian, the man from Tyana
Is carried away in a flash of light
By spirits familiar to the pious Wise
The Sylphs of the air are ever by his side
Beaten, imprisoned and shamed
He's cast before the emperor who'll seal his Fate
The man living in fear can never be free
The wrath of the tyrant – a terror to the weak
Shall never spell silence for Apollonius' lips
"I serve only one mistress and her name is Truth!"
