SAINT SOPHIA
Raised the church over the seas
for the Almighty God,
The honored Illyrian emperor
The great Justinian lord.
For the creator’s glory,
for the nation’s faithful,
Saint Sophia was elevated
On the empire’s heart.
Saint Sophia, heaven's wisdom,
Earthly enlightenment,
to stay beside His creation
To guide the faithful way.
A light upon earthly sky
Eternal remembrance,
To spread wisdom upon all
the peace will reign sovran.
Across all the seas and oceans
full of heavenly light
Pellegrins would get in line
To receive the grace in heart.
Thousand years passed by
The holy temple rise.
Lighted the fires
on the depths and the blue light
The empire’s heart was overrun,
the barbarian creature.
Grieve and howl all human’s soul
Saint Sophia, the Holy temple.
Invasion flame clouded the sky
Constantinople washed in red,
Holy church felt the bickering
Horror came beside.
Intruders knew the storied
on the holy church’s marvels,
and acted on false pretensions
Tried to cover the light with mud.
The holy of holiness
Beamed the light everywhere,
Raised the fallen’s voice
All creation’s attention got.
I’M HERE! - resounded God
Saint Mary and all the Saints.
I’m here! - roars the past
The brave and valorous.
A passage between screams
Thundering the air.
Enough! - said the blessed
to the deception time!
Where the sea is sliced apart,
and the sacred land too,
The holy church resounds profound:
- I’m here too!
Loud is the past’s voice
On every spirit says:
- I’m the ancient Saint Sophia
Christianity speaks for itself.
Prosper Rome on both sides
Europe and Asia alike.
It’s the bridge for all the seas
This big creation site.
He treasured his creation
To elevate the Mighty God
And stands on that same spot
The holy church Saint Sophia
It will stand for countless centuries,
Although shifts to mosque
The whole creation will pray:
- Save us all Saint Sophia!
