Paroles

La Crotz is not only a symbol. It is a structure.

Four arms extend from its center.
One rises toward the firmament.
One descends toward the abyss.
One opens to the East.
One reaches toward the West.

Heaven and depth.
Dawn and sunset.
The visible and the unseen.

The Cross marks the meeting point of all directions. It is the axis upon which the world turns — the place where earth and sky intersect.

It is called the banner of the King, not as an emblem of domination, but as a sign of alignment. To follow the Cross is to stand at the center, where will and order converge.

From the wood that bore death came life. From suffering came pardon. From torment came rest.

And whoever seeks upon the Cross shall find not defeat, but the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge — the understanding that power is not possession, but orientation.

La Crotz stands.

And through it, all directions find their meaning.

La Crotz (Lyrics in Occitan)

Dei quatre caps qu’a la Crotz,
L’un va vèrs lo firmament,
Aqueu de dejós vèrs l’abís.
Dei quatre caps qu’a la Crotz.
Dei quatre caps qu’a la Crotz,
L’un va vèrs l’Orient,
L’autre tend vèrs Occident.
Dei quatre caps qu’a la Crotz.
Per aital entresenhar
Que Crist o a tot en poder.
La Crotz es lo gonfanon
Dau Rei que tot nos advèn,
E qu’òm deu seguir tojours
la Siéunas volontats fasèm.
Car mai fasèm, mai prenèm,
E tot òme qu’amb eu se ten
Es segur de bon lòc aver.
D’aquesta lena que nasquèt la mòrt
Nos venguèt vida e perdon,
E repaus en lòc de torment.
Tot òme que li denha quèrre
Sus la Crotz poirà trobar
Lo fruch de l’aubre dau saber
