I did a mediocre translation, feel free to correct any mistakes if spotted.

This one was especially difficult because I didn't grow up in a religious household, so it took a lot of editing and re-reading to ensure I didn't miss the mark when something was a reference. For example, when ever Amakusa says "save" in any context/fate work, he specifically means salvation, not keeping someone physically alive.

I believe when he says "follow my flag," it's a double-entendre for "hear my prayer," as the Kanji for "hear" (聞いて) is used. This stumped me until I thought about it, and what does his flag represent? His ideals, goals, and ultimately the prayers he sends to God. This is why I translated the next few lines as addressing God with "You," instead of talking about him with, "He." As such, I capitalized the Y in You to let people know. Likewise, when he says "We are with God," he could mean "We are with You," but that line specifically says "God," ( 神).

The line about egoism is in reference to the preface from Amakusa's interlude, speaking about how to want to save humanity, you feel a certain amount of arrogance. His interlude is translated at Chaldeum on Wordpress, definitely give it a read if you're interested.

Lastly, the line with "heroic ideals" specifically says he abandons "heroic things," but since this is definitely a parallel to heroic spirit EMIYA, I used "heroic ideals."
