Charlemagne: | |
When I pass from this world to the next | |
When I am laid and my soul is put to rest | |
My legacy will be there for all to see | |
For how long after I am gone will my deeds outlive me. | |
The Apostle says we must all appear before our Christ | |
To judge my place in the world, the way I framed my life | |
‘Tis a fearful thing to fall into God’s hands | |
Only he who repents shall pass into the heavenly lands. | |
When all the deeds of my life are played before my eyes | |
Will what I see come as a great surprise? | |
Life is short the hour of death uncertain | |
I must confess my sins before they draw the final curtain. | |
Will I be remembered for my victories small and great | |
The glory of the Christian name I sought to disseminate? | |
Let legend mark me as the King | |
Of whom future generations will sing. | |
Cast me not in my old age | |
When my will and strength doth fail | |
Forsake me not ‘til I show forth Thy arm | |
To all the ages that are yet to come. | |
Choir: | |
All in time shall be revealed | |
When all is done my fate is sealed | |
In manus Tuas, Domine, | |
Et anima mea quam redemisti. | |
Charlemagne: | |
And will the Golden Age of Charlemagne | |
Glow more brightly long after my reign? | |
When all the battles have been lost and won. | |
Choir: | |
Will this warrior King in memory still live on? | |
Charlemagne: | |
It was with the sword I overcame my assailants | |
Those heathen hordes for whom menaces, gifts and presents | |
Seemed to speak louder than arguments and reason | |
I did what I had to, to spread the true religion. | |
Was the terror of extreme punishment as a means | |
To enforce observance of the doctrines of peace | |
There were of course moments | |
I desired to surrender | |
My crown, robes, royal hoard and my holy sceptre. | |
Sometimes I wondered why | |
I could not retire from this world | |
To the peace of a monastic cell | |
Or a pilgrim to the road. | |
Let legend mark me as the King | |
Of whom future generations will sing. | |
Cast me not in my old age | |
When my will and strength doth fail. | |
Forsake me not ‘til I show forth Thy arm | |
To all the ages that are yet to come. | |
