Iesus nazarenus rex Iudaeorum

 Executioners
 had finished
 the crucifixion
 of the king on the cross

 Executioners
 tied ropes
 to the trunk
 of the cross

 Executioners
 have done their job
 nailing hands and feet
 to the cross

 Torment, suffering

 Iesus nazarenus rex Iudaeorum

 Bones smashed
 One upon the other
 Wounds were ripped
 Blood bursts again

 Words of love
 And compassion
 Echoed
 Through the air

 Torment, suffering, passion, death

 Scripsit autem et titulum pilatus
 Et posuit super crucem
 erat autem scriptum

 Iesus nazarenus rex Iudaeorum

 Jesus of Nazareth the king of the Jews

 The eminence on which the cross was planted was
 About two feet higher than the surrounding parts

 The feet of Jesus were near the ground for his friends to be able to kiss them

 And his face was turned to the North-West
