Centurian's Tale

By James A. Gower ©

April 23,2003

There that day they say I was blessed;

Following orders although I detest.

Who was this one the messiah they say;

Cursed me he did on that darkest day.

Upon the hill of skulls galgotha was its name;

My spear did pierce his side was my claim to fame.

Centurian was my possision,my rank,my life;

I was a soldier my unit was my wife.

I had no need for family I had no need for love;

For I was a fighting man my enemies before me were drove.

Why my lot was cast for me I will never know;

Now to live forever as a soldier I will go.

From one battle to the next this prince of peace did curse;

It is written well in the scriptured verse.

For he looked down at me and with his final words of pain;

As you are so shall you be untill we meet again.

I ask you then who is this man come to save the day;

A prince of peace who'd curse man and make him live this way.

I have lived sense that day never finding peace;

I long for the day i may rest and all my fighting cease.

So hurry you,come back to me ;

For I'm weary and tired my ending do I seek.

Just to say it clear so you'll understand;

I was following orders and for that I was damned.
