hadrian - tony burton lyrics

Loading...

[spoken interlude]
this should’ve been such a joyful time for hadrian in archiecture and religion in history, but it wasn’t * he was torn apart by grief. despite all his offerings, the god seemed to abandon him. just days before, his constant companion, his young lover, antinous, had died, drowned in the nile river. their relationship had clearly become the subject of much whispering and scandal

[refrain]
this should’ve been such a joyful time for hadrian in archiecture and religion in history

[spoken interlude]
down the centuries, there are many that believe that antinous’s death was no accident * no, a matter of self*sacrifice. possibly to give hadrian new life, or just to save the reputation and dignity of his lover

[outro]
or just to save the reputation and dignity of his lover
their relationship had clearly become the subject of much whispering and scandal
his young lover, antinous, had died, drowned in the nile
