Mercury! Red lights eclipse the sun To Rome! Alesia! Aventinus! Called by the messenger of gods A wind of plague is blowing The stench of mass extinction The raise of a Red flag augurs Upsurging rivers of blood Surrendered by starvation They marched there before dawn The spoils of war delivered Unworthy lives of men This is an era of warfare The absolution demise Leaders of the world sacrifying their men With fear and craven guiding their way The throne is deified The Law becomes the faith Power is given to the hand of the divine Butchering the savages, slaughtering the innocents Praetor of the void is negating their lives Deities taking abode in new sanctuaries Ritual of summoning away divinities The idols are hammered, broken Sacrilegious scorn of the enemy shrines Fortified settlements Erected to the sky Hostages beheaded Their limbs are fed to the hounds Surrendered by starvation They marched there before dawn The spoils of war delivered Unworthy lives of men
