Song lyrics:

In hoc signo vinces.
In hoc signo vinces.
In hoc signo vinces.
In hoc signo vinces.

In the sky, appeared a sign so bright,
Then in a dream, in the darkness of night.
In his dream, a voice did tell,
"By this sign, you'll conquer."

Marching to the Milvian Bridge,
With faith and courage, they crossed the ridge.
Painted shields, with the holy sign,
Constantine's heart, touched by the divine.

Freedom's dawn, the edict's decree,
A world reborn, step toward sacred harmony.
Chains of martyrs fall, no longer fear or strife,
Faith in Christ, the bread of life.

In Nicea's halls, the bishops met,
To end confusion, the aberration's threat.
Arius' heresy, with scripture collides,
In the Nicene Creed is found truth's faithful guide.

Constantine, with wisdom's guiding hand,
Helped unify this fractured land.
True doctrine's light, in hearts did flame,
Christ's glorious name, the church proclaimed.

On Byzantium’s shores, a city grand,
Later Constantinople, but by his command,
Nova Roma, a Christian beacon bright,
Guiding souls through darkest night.

Freedom's dawn, the edict's decree,
A world reborn, step toward sacred harmony.
No more chains, no fear or strife,
Faith in Christ, the bread of life.

The Holy Sepulchre, he built anew,
Churches rose, where faith first grew.
Cruel gladiator games, to silence retired,
With justice for the poor, God glorified.

Imperial coins, with symbols of the cross,
Banners of faith, no longer at a loss.
In every public square, a sign of grace,
Christianity's light, in every place.

Quelled blood's flow, on arenas and altars of old,
Rites and words of peace, in faith's stronghold.
From pagan dark, to Christian light,
Constantine’s rule, the holy fight.

Freedom's dawn, the edict's decree,
A world reborn, step toward sacred harmony.
No more chains, no fear or strife,
Faith in Christ, the bread of life.

Beneath the crown, a shadow cast,
Crispus and Fausta, a tragedy vast.
Mystery shrouds their tragic end,
A ruler’s flaw, a heart to mend.

The empire changed, through Constantine's hand,
Christian faith, across the land.
His reign, a mix of light and shade,
But a legacy of faith he made.

With the sign of cross, his banner's fly,
Constantine's legacy, in faith to abide.
By the grace of God, his empire stood,
A ruler flawed, yet wrought for good.

In hoc signo vinces.
In hoc signo vinces.
In hoc signo vinces.
Dei Gratia.


How I Make These Music Videos:

All of the music on this channel is made with AI music generation software called Suno. The lyrics are from my poetry. In many cases, I have written the lyrics entirely in the "old-fashioned" way, although in several other songs, I've also begun to use ChatGPT to aid in the process. However, these typically require extensive preliminary inputs and significant manual revision and fine-tuning before satisfactory results. Lyric videos are made with Pinnacle Studio 26.
