Lyrics

[verse] [Choir singing] From Sicily’s shores to Crete's golden strand, Ambrogio sailed at a trusted friend’s command. Allies in war, beneath the sun and sky, Till shadows of deceit forced their ties awry. [verse] From Sicily’s shores to Crete's golden strand, Ambrogio sailed at a trusted friend’s command. Allies in war, beneath the sun and sky, Till shadows of deceit forced their ties awry. [verse] Mahmood of Sinai, the desert’s ensnaring charm, His words were silver, his smile disarmed. By the moon’s pale glow, secrets began, Jutta succumbed to the forbidden plan. Their hidden love, like a stolen balm, Destroyed the peace with a troubling calm. [break] [break] [bridge] In the silent halls where echoes cry, Friendship died under a vengeful sky. A whispered plot, a swift blade’s end, Mahmood’s life, they could not defend. [chorus] When the assassin’s blade found its dark mark, In Crete’s shadows, deep and stark. Jutta wept for the love she’d known, Her golden hair to the ground was thrown. [outro] Where hearts once bound now fray and tear, Echoes of trust lost in despair. Weep, oh heavens, for what was once grand, Mourn the broken bonds, the lost command.
