Virtutes Septem
Krusader Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Intro
Gladius nullus est
Sine justo corde
Virtutes septem te docebo

Main 1
Sit Fides sustentaculum vitae tuae,
in Deum patrem crede et Is te ducet

Bridge 1
Spem filii in Deo
habe semper,
etiamsi cadat,
consurge et specta
ad coelum neque ad humum.

Chorus 1
Caritas, mater nostra, vera intentio amandi Deum,
se ipsum, proximum que est.
Prudentia dux est in proelio, majus bonum eligit,
pejus malum devitat.

Main 2
Fortitudinem quaere ut perseveres
et ad fine sequaris missionem tuam.

Bridge 2
Justitia construit
inter omnibus aequalitatem.
Homo justus in Deo es!
Hoc ministerium tuum.

Chorus 2
Cum Temperantia pax habebis quo Deus audias
et cum omnibus in harmonia sis.

Istas virtutes custodi. Si justus belator sis,
ad te gladius somniatus ibit.
