Ibis Ad Crucem
The day that Pilate helped sentence
Jesus to the cross ---
People were proclaiming, that Ceaser
was their only boss ---
Although Pilate argued for Jesus
life to be spared ---
Few showed any mercy and even
less expressed that they cared ---
Finally after several attempts to save
Jesus from a cruel death ---
Pontius proclaimed IBIS AD CRUCEM
and then held his breath ---
Christ was led away and crucified
for all to see ---
With the sign above His head, INRI;
which was prophisied to be.
Notes: IBIS AD CRUCEM MEANS: YOU SHALL GO TO THE CROSS
INRI MEANS: JESUS OF NASERETH, KING OF THE JEWS
