LYRICS
Νενίκηκάς με Ναζωραίε

Σωσε ημιν-Σωσε με ιερεια
Eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth
Σωσε ημιν-Σωσε με ιερεια
Hate for a hate and ruth for ruth
Σωσε με ιερια-I am the truth
Σωσε με- Save me -Σωσε με ιερια-Save me Ieria

Σωσε ημιν-Σωσε με ιερεια
War for war and woe for woe
Σωσε ημιν-Σωσε με ιερεια
Blood for Blood and bow for bow
Σωσε με ιερια-I am the law
Σωσε με- Praise-Σωσε με ιερια-Save me Ieria

CHORUS
Σωσε ημιν-Σωσε με ιερεια

The book of lies ,I read,i condemned
The end and aim of the Cynic philosophy, as indeed of every philosophy, is happiness, but happiness that consists in living according to nature, and not according to the opinions of the multitude.
No wild beasts are so dangerous to men as Christians are to one another
And concerning the book you gave me to read,
I read-I understood-I condemned
Flavius Claudius Iulianus-(331-363 A.D)-The last Pagan Emperor

CHORUS
Σωσε ημιν-Σωσε με ιερεια

«Νενίκηκάς με, Ναζωραῖε», pronounced: "Nenikekas me, Nazoreae" Meaning: "You Have Conquered me, Jesus of Nazareth". Julian after receiving a deadly wound, immediately filled his hand with blood and cast it into the air and said: '«Νενίκηκάς με, Ναζωραῖε»...Julian (Latin: Flavius Claudius Julianus 331 – 26 June 363) was the Caesar of the West from 355 to 360 and Roman emperor from 361 to 363, as well as a notable philosopher and author in Greek. His rejection of Christianity, and his promotion of Neoplatonic Hellenism in its place, caused him to be remembered as Julian the Apostate in Christian tradition.

"I read, I understood, I condemned"
I might get this as a tattoo.

<<Ανέγνων, Έγνων, Κατέγνων!>>

"I read, I understand, I reject!"
- Julian the Apostate.

(His opinion about monotheistic holy books, religions and ideas in general)

(Flavius Claudius Julianus, c. 331 – 26 June 363, was a Hellenistic philosopher, military leader, Roman emperor, and satirist, often referred to as Julian the Apostate because of his rejection of formal Christian doctrines, and opposition to their spread, and sometimes as Julian II, to distinguish him from Didius Julianus. Sometimes now referred to as Julian the Philosopher)

Hail Pagans, hail ancient greek philosophy! The light in this earth.

[RubenSannino-qjpd]

Glory tò Julian....as the last priestess of Apollon said..." Will come the day that Apollon comes back...and will be forever"

[Rivor]

More than just a fan of Ancient Greek religion, he directly questioned the Christian belief system and wanted to give state support to philosophical schools reopening.. He really became a threat to the Church power structure. This man and Andronicus Comnenus are truly the black sheep of Byzantine imperial rule. The latter went against the aristocrats and powerful monasteries of his time. Really interesting and capable individual, with one of the worst public executions ever recorded being his last three days alive.

Thanks to ROTTING CHRIST for this beautiful recall of the Almighty Julian, one of the most clever and brave roman emperor of all times ; his writings are of great interest, a neverending source of inspiration for all those who nowadays are searching for the pagan light, in the depths of european traditions and thoughts. Greatings from France.

Hail from Turkey! "And Concerning The Book You Gave Me To Read, I Read, I Understood, I Condemned." 🤘🏻

[RicardoFerreira-minf]

You know, i can't find words to describe Rotting Christ.
Its unique melody, philosophy, and all the enviroment around the music.
It sounds like a lullaby...

[mitsoskol]

Honour and glory to the only true emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, that supported and spread the true meaning of the Hellenic Spirit, before the darkness of christianity totally covers the ideals of the ancient world... Kudos to Rotting Christ for this awesome song!

[fallenjager]

The Roman Emperor who wanted back the Olympian Gods. Whether you are christian or not, his case was interesting.

[OccultKenji]

Emperor Julian, with his defiance, lit a flame that slowly burns for centuries. ΕΣΣΕΤΑΙ ΗΜΑΡ!
