Themis

The pillars crack, the marble turns to dust
Yet the ancient word remains, the foundational trust
From the endless night of Uranus and the earth of gaia born
Stands themis, the titaness, shielding us from scorn

She is the silent keeper, the vessel of the divine command
The architect of duty, across the seas and land
The law is not inscribed by man, it is the natural decree
A cosmic balance measured, for all eternity

Ihering's scissors
Now listen close to the doctrine, the rigorous definition we find
To the two edges of justice, the edges that bind mankind
Ihering's solemn warning, ringing true from the start
The system is divided, a conflict of the mind and heart

The sword without the scales is brutal force, a tyrant's game
A conquest without reason, fueled only by the flame
It is the legion marching, the power unchecked and vast
A fleeting, blinding glory, never meant to last

But the scales without the sword is impotence, a fragile dream
A promise made in silence, upon a running stream
A word without the action, a prayer the world ignores
The structure will collapse, against the breaking shores

We need the intersection, the singular command
The might of the blade, upheld by the weighing hand
Themis watches over all, the oaths that mortals swear
The patron of the jurist, correcting every snare

But justice takes a clearer form, embodied by her kin
Eunomia, eirene, and the true one within
She is the daughter, the rightful successor to the ideal
Diké, the only one whose presence the mortals feel!

Diké, the vigilant justice
The sword in the right, the scales in the left hand!
Diké stands guard, the law is a force across the land!
Her eyes are wide open!

She sees the rich, the humble, the plight
She judges the darkness beneath the dazzling light!
If the scales are silent, the blade will start to cry
Only in divine balance shall order ever fly!

I walked among the mortals in the age of gold
Their innocence was shattered, a story left untold
I saw the great injustice, the blood upon the stone
I was cast from earth's domain, left to stand alone!

The star charts keep the memory, in the sign of Virgo's grace
The exile of true justice, leaving an empty space
The men ignored the law, they chose the power wild
The espada turned to murder, justice was exiled!

But the law must be corrected!
The balance must descend!
The errors of the mortals, the chaos without end!

The venda will not hide the truth that burns beneath the skin!
The roman firmness cannot save the evil from within!
We need the vigilant eyes of diké, the sister of the Nike-born!
To claim the vitória of order, on this shattered, ruined morn!

The sword in the right, the scales in the left hand!
Diké stands guard, the law is a force across the land!
If the scales are silent, the blade will start to cry
Themis pro me in hac vita mea intercedit
