Chorus: - Slow but unmistakable
the might of the gods moves on.
It punishes that man,
infatuate of soul
and hardened in his pride,
who disregards the gods.
The gods are crafty:
they lie in ambush
a long step of time
to hunt the unholy.
Beyond the old beliefs,
no thought, no act shall go.
Small, small is the cost
to believe in this:
whatever is god is strong;
whatever long time has sanctioned,
this is a law forever;
the law tradition makes
is the law of nature.
- What is wisdom? What gift of the gods
is held in honor like this:
to hold our hand victorious
over the heads of those you hate?
Honor is precious forever.
the might of the gods moves on.
It punishes that man,
infatuate of soul
and hardened in his pride,
who disregards the gods.
The gods are crafty:
they lie in ambush
a long step of time
to hunt the unholy.
Beyond the old beliefs,
no thought, no act shall go.
Small, small is the cost
to believe in this:
whatever is god is strong;
whatever long time has sanctioned,
this is a law forever;
the law tradition makes
is the law of nature.
- What is wisdom? What gift of the gods
is held in honor like this:
to hold our hand victorious
over the heads of those you hate?
Honor is precious forever.
