on a hill faraway...



lies an old rugged cross at the city of skulls called Golgotha...

without mercy
without pity

without respect
irreverent, a blasphemy

they crucified you Lord
you were nailed on a cross

so we sinners
will have a living soul

so we sinners
could see the sun once more...

above sacred art is by Andrea Mantegna... 1457-1459... we were in grade 6 when we depicted the stations of the cross, i played the virgin mary the mother of God as i heard this song for the first time. it never left my memory since. so many songs, so many tunes that our ears may have listened to but there is always one that is close to your heart...
