lyrics

Seven Hills

Lucrezia, O, Lucrezia
How breathlessly I behold
The fairness of your features
Held in treasuries untold

Splendor beyond all standards
Beyond measure, beyond worth
Like Venus, you embody
All the pleasures of the Earth

The Seven Hills reflect you in
The greying grandeur of the gloam
More glorious and holier than Rome

I've heard the cruelest rumors
From the lips of your betray'rs:
Deception and debauchery
And family affairs

But I cannot believe such things
Of one so undefiled
They spurn your name, but you remain
As precious as a child

The Seven Hills reflect you in
The greying grandeur of the gloam
More glorious and holier than Rome

Yet we cannot expect to change
The wicked ways of man
Especially within the
Shadow of the Vatican

The foundations are foundering
The walls are crumbling down
Still Alexander clutches
His charlatan's tarnished crown

Now, bloodied on these sacred steps
Saint Peter, hear my plea
Preserve the one I love
Always and evermore for me

The Seven Hills reflect you in
The greying grandeur of the gloam
More glorious and holier than Rome
