Celtic Circle: The Other

You Irish troublemaker;
stand before Caesar and beg for your life;
the living god will be merciful.

What do you have to say for your heresy?
guilty of speaking against the State; 
if you want to live we will hear no more.

Caesar knows, but he must keep the rabble in line;
wisdom is not to be theirs;
your sacrifice will keep them quiet.
