2:20....Cross on the left with arch................maybe thats the stuff they used to paint on the columns and pillars of temples and villas in the old Western Roman empire? its not Celtic, and its not Germanic=Gothic. So it must be Latin art...............but it might be Slavic?

@SteinbrecherBack :O Ono, not lecturing you at all. Just explaining my reasoning. But what you say is true. I'm just saying that if the writers want to say that this happens in the past, then they should use the imperfect tense.

@mszegedy You don't have to lecture me on what different tenses mean, I'm not an idiot. I was asking you about what the sense would be in the title of the song. A Christian song would state that God is the ruler, right now. The title doesn't make sense either way, be it in the perfect or the imperfect form.

@SteinbrecherBack Well, the perfect is meant to express a singular, short, "it happened" kind of event, as opposed to the imperfect, which would express it over a period of time. Sans context, if you want to talk about "reigning" in the past, then you should totally say that it was over a period of time, rather than a singular event.

@mszegedy What's so much better about the imperfect than the perfect in this context? Still wouldn't make much sense for a song like this.

@SteinbrecherBack Sorry, got it mixed up for regō, regere, rēxī, rēctus… I thought the verb had been regularized into first conjugation. Guess not. :P (I would have liked "dominus regnābat" myself, though)

@mszegedy What's so special about "dominus regnavit"? o.O
"The Lord has reigned"... (which, admittedly, is a strange title... would have expected "dominus regnat"...)
