Chapter 23.
Scene 1: BURNING THE PALACE
Twilight - beautiful natural atmosphere. 2 weeks have passed
since the death of Helena. Suddenly a troop of soldiers under
the command of Johanna march rapidly towards the Emper-
or's residence. Guards call Seth out onto the balcony. Johanna
and other invading troops are trying to set fire to the palace.
Guards are putting out most of the fire and one soldier of Seth
is wounded while trying to stop the flames from spreading.
Suddenly, the night is lit up by thousands of soldiers marching
up, all with torches and burning arrows. They all massively
throw their torches and shoot arrows into the palace, which
starts to burn. Seth considers the onslaught and realizes that
escape is possible. He calls on Apollonius. Eventually Seth and
Apollonius are escorted out by their closest people through a
secret exit. They flee into the desert.
Meanwhile the squad outside the residence are chanting tri-
butes to Christ and call out curses on his sworn enemy.

[AGNES:]
So, it has come to this

[JOHANNA:]
Yes, it has come to this
Heaven will have its way

[SETH:]
Trust me: this holy temple remains not for thee
Hear me, Johanna
Be gone
Take heed

[JOHANNA:]
I'll not run
Nor will my soul hide
For time has come
Prince of Night
Thy fate awaits thee
Light this day will prevail

[MARE & AGNES:]
Bless you, Christus!
Bless you, Christus!

[WOUNDED SOLDIER:]
Hailing from who we are
He is the master
Ever to conquer, ever to rise again

[AGNES:]
Future reaching yesterday
Such a painful human touch
You will feel it soon

[JOHANNA:]
Thy kingdom shall return to dust
Cursed be thy name

[AGNES:]
Cursed be thy name and thy spirit

[TROOP & JOHANNA:]
No throne of darkness shall remain
No echo from your fall
Prepare for fire, spawn of hell

[JOHANNA:]
All, Lord, for you

[SETH:]
You can't reach me: soon I will be gone
Into battle, into war we will go

[CHRISTIAN ARMY:]
Heroes unite
Summon to fight
Hearts of God are protected by swords
Martyrs of grace
Soon we shall face
Armageddon
We'll ride into dawn

[SETH & APOLLONIUS:]
Unleash morning, meet us face to face
Into battle, into war we will go

[CHRISTIAN ARMY:]
Mighty and strong, still marching on
Never surrender
Curtains fall down
End of our time

[CHRISTIAN ARMY & JOHANNA:]
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Ave
God of creation and of man

[CHRISTIAN ARMY:]
Heroes unite
Summon to fight
Hearts of God are protected by swords
Martyrs of grace
Soon we shall face
Armageddon
We'll ride into dawn
