With the Canvas and The Cross

avec la toile et la Croix

con el lienzo y la cruz

con la tela e la croce

mit der Leinwand und dem Kreuz

met het canvas en het kruis

 

“Who are these ones who would lead us now

To the sounds of a thousand guns

Who’d storm the gates of Hell itself

To the tune of a single drum...

 

Who are the Kings in the coats of mail

Who rode by the Cross to die ?

Did they all go down into worthiness ?

Is it wrong for a King to cry ?

And who are the ones who would have us now

Whose presence is revealed

In a time Bomb ? ... from the song “Protocol” by

Gordon Lightfoot

 

Musings on the settlement of my little town of St Augustine by the Spanish in 1565.

And how it relates to modern times.

 

“Protocol” by Gordon Lightfoot, 2 very cool YouTube versions.
