Tracks



01. Romulus

Romulus, from the wolf's mouth I feed eternity
Romulus, with my brother's blood I opened wide the gates of time

Standing at the hill cliff
A flock of birds crown me
I am fathered by the god of war, I am the king of Rome

Then his jealousy blooms, the envy to lead my people:
So perish everyone who shall leap over my wall!

Romulus, from the wolf's mouth I feed eternity
Romulus, with my brother's blood I opened wide the gates of time

Rise the Legions that ____ by the kingdom
Within my beating heart, the sword and spear shall govern

Remus defied me, and I shall strike upon those who disobey me with death!

I am Romulus
I am the king of Rome
An empire shall rise!

Romulus, from the wolf's mouth I feed eternity
(Romulus!)
Romulus, with my brother's blood I opened wide the gates of time

02. Storm The Gates Of Alesia

oh...how the gods have spoken
oh...how they whisper guidance
oh...how the poison bleeds...bleeds, the father horizon
oh...how her enemy lurks
oh...how the snake slithers
oh...how the eagle shines ... it shines for eternity
as we storm through the gates of Alesia
we bring forth fire and might
spill blood across the fields
penetrate the Gallic Nation
starve them through circumvallation
break the enemies' determination
hope will shatter those who believe
believe in the will to oppose the greatness of Rome
as we fight we fight for honor
to keep the glory of our founding Fathers
bring me the strength to carry on
and stand with you untill the end of time
can you hear all the trumpets of war?
the sound of courage and all that is real
we stand together in this test of time
rise, rise from the blood of the weak
no retreat, no surrender
by orders of the senate
i command to fight until death
in the name of Jupiter and the people of the Republic
fight for your children, your wives, your land
betrayal will be met by death
as we strorm through the gates of Alesia
we bring forth fire and might
spill blood across the field
penetrate the Gallic Nation
starve them through circumvallation
break the enemies' determination
hope will shatter those who believe
believe in the will to oppose the greatness of Rome
as we fight, we fight for honor
to keep the glory of our founding Fathers
bring me the strength to carry on and stand with you until the end of time
can you hear all the trumpets of war?
the sound of courage and all that is real
we stand together in this test of time
rise, rise from the blood of the weak
i declare Gaul province of Rome
VENI, VIDI, VINCI

03. Cry Havoc

From the smell of the blessed lands
We march for glory to conquer
In the name of the fatherland
We bleed the blood of the Gods
The sun calls upon us
Legions to free Rome
I've touched your faith and you've touched my blade
The moon's lunar rays peek through the mist of the evening fog
The wind whispers the sounds of war
Speak to us of domination, avenge oh glorious Caesar
For thy wounds shall be healed, for all populous of Rome
Dawn awakens the slumber
Prepare ourselves for victory
Arm ourselves with steel of faith
Engage the enemy
For everyone they kill, we shall kill ten
For every moment lost, time never stops
For every sorrow given a new death stricken
For every breath I take, I feel the world shake
Centurion. . . Move forward
Conflict, eternal
Blood centurions
Internal chaos
Monarch's of Hell
Pompeii to fall (Brutus Faction) defeat is imminent, Hail Caesar!
Octavian to rule. . .
The civil war is over
The Battle of Philippi gone
Long live Gaius Julius Caesar
As Emperor I shall reestablish the Roman Empire
Restore its facade born is the Praetorian Guard
An era of change comes
Border frontiers secured
Build the foundation lost
Pax Romana

04. In Her Dark Embrace

Beautiful she sleeps in my arms
She caresses the storm inside of me
The thunder wakes the tyrant
Unleash the beast inside of me
She rules with a deadly grip
Colossal and unmerciful
Her majesty is vast and wide
Hear the sounds of her enemy's cries
Temptations of war. . .
Temptations of lust. . .
Her majesty awakens
Among the killing fields, sinners betrayed
And left to rot
In her dark embrace
In time no sun aligned me
Ego sum victum
Centurion to command her men
Praetorian to guard her kings
Her reach is across the sea
Her triumph is victorious
Her might is glorious
She wolf she sent to guide
Kings born to bring her high
Lifetime to the pulse of the universe
Jupiter and Mars her life
UNDEFEATED SHE WILL RISE
Temptations of war
Temptations of lust
In her dark embrace
In time no sun aligned me
Her majesty awakens
Among the killing fields, sinners betrayed
And left to rot
In her dark embrace
In time no sun aligned me
Ego sum victum

05. Invictus

Elegance, we salute you
King and liberator of the world
Sun of the republic and father of our freedom
Meus Imperator, protector of Rome
Quod Rector, son of the republic
Meus Mucro, the eagle's eyes
Meus Loricatus, the hands of war
HAIL!
HAIL!
HAIL!
JULIUS CAESAR
HAIL!
HAIL!
HAIL!
INVICTUS
Traitors invade the dominion
Predators from the barbarian hordes
Enemies of Rome to betray the civil
Pray of the higher power, to crumble
Instigate the wicked and feel the wrath
To vanish into sacred skies
Meus Imperator, protector of Rome
Quod Rector, son of the republic
Meus Murco, the eagle's eyes
Meus Loricatus, the hands of war
HAIL!
HAIL!
HAIL!
JULIUS CAESAR
HAIL!
HAIL!
HAIL!
INVICTUS

06. The Final War (Battle Of Actium)

This is the final war along the Lonian Sea, the Battle of Actium
Mark Antony's forces to engage Octavian's legions at sea
Breaking the alliance of the Second Triumvirate
Cleopatra and Antony to defy
Caesarion named King of Kings
A lethal threat to Octavian
Two Hundred Thirty warships at sea
Headed by the great Mark Antony
Devastating loss forces retreat
Agrippa's forces led by experience at sea
Roma shines once again, Octavian's forces powerful and unmatched
Two hundred ships lost
Five Thousand lives lost
Broken line, broken will
There's no place for glory to heal
Raised in blood, raised in fear
There's no place for honor to heal
There's no place for glory, there's no place for honor...
Cleopatra
Bring this war to foreign land, Alexandria
The final encounter between two of Rome's greatest leaders comes to an end
Two hundred thirty warships at sea
Headed by the great Mark Antony
Devastating loss forces retreat
Agrippa's forces led by experience at sea
Roma shines once again, Octavian's forces powerful and unmatched
Two hundred ships lost
Five thousand lives lost
Broken line, broken will
There's no place for glory to heal
Raised in blood, raised in fear
There's no place for honor to heal
There's no place for glory, there's no place for honor...

07. Legio XIII

Legion of the 13th
the dye is cast
as we cross the Rubicon, the dye is cast...
the blood will flow
they call it the point of no return
but for us it just begun
Rome's most lethal weapon
the twin legion has arrived
revolution is at hand
the fire in the sky is damned
the brave will rise
the shadows of light
this strength and honour
determined to conquer
fate to dominate
architects of war
we are the 13th
brothers in arms
our enemies will fear
the power that we cheer
we live to fight this dream
to unify our world
in dominance we rise
together we shall die
bleeding for our sun
our legacy never undone
we massacred the opposition
we walk in glory, in all our envy
loyal to the god of Mars
they crossed out path and they were lost
hand to hand we killed them all
blood drenched and ripped apart
feed them to the rabid dogs
the 13th is law
the brave will rise
the shadows of light
this strength and honor
determined to conquer
fate to dominate
architects of war
we are the 13th
brothers in arms

08. Blood, Courage And The Gods That Walk The Earth

Enslaved to build the kingdom of Gods
Blood and sweat mixed in the sun
Those who fall are tossed aside
Mangled hands that bleed to the light
Bleed to the light
How the whip rips through the flesh
Thirst and hunger with no time to rest
Better to die, than live through this life
The hope inside keeps me alive
Slaves that die fed to the lions
There is one law in this dominion
We are the Gods that walk the earth
Serve the masters and see the light
Betray the contract and be crucified
The empire shines...shines so bright
Dreams of rebellion rise inside
Talks of how the Gods could die
No man shall kneel to another's appeal
Crushed and oppressed our faith is sealed
Slaves that die fed to the lions
There is one law in this dominion
We are the Gods that walk the earth Serve the masters and see the light
Betray the contract and be crucified
The empire shines... shines so bright
Bring them to the lions...
Memories fade to darkness
Bloodlines faced with death
Survival is all that's left
Ancestors will cry for those who bled

09. Cruor Nostri Abbas

Battle cries scream into the night
Forsaken ones move onto the other world
Planned expansion of civilization
Enemies await total impending doom
Feel the spirit in our father's will
The arrows of fire bleed the darkened skies
It shatters grief onto the grounds
Blood paints the stones of ages
CRUOR NOSTRI ABBAS
EGO spiritus meus contemno
EGO dominor
EGO addo lemma ut suum filiolus
EGO ostendo haud misericordia
EGO ostendo haud diligo
Capio absentis suum posterus
EGO dico ordo
Telum crudus divum
Agony chants the plea to surrender
Debriefed ones intentions of triumph
This is the land of all our fathers
We shall reign forever
CRUOR NOSTRI ABBAS

10. Surrender The Sun

They call me Gladiator
A slave to Rome, Hero to the mob
I must entertain to rise
Kill to live or die
The strength I bleed, I take for my freedom
Criminal they say, persecuted
A puppet for the people's amusement
This is my kingdom, the coliseum
Where I will meet the after life
Pain is the level of all of your fears
Survival of my soul to light
I surrender the sun for your life
I challenge the gods to die
He who is about to die we salute you
Fight honorably until the moment you meet your afterlife
Terror bestows my body and mind
Rejoice in dignity, a chance to live in glory and adoratoion for eternity
My sword and shield are the only things real to me
I feel the wrath calling me... to take this life from me
Thrust the gladius, into the flesh it rips
Screams of anguish lost into the dust
Take your last breath vision the sky dark touch the light see the iron mask save your soul
The crows wait to feed
I live for another day, another moment under the sun
Break the silence of the crowd as they cheer for the final blow
Pain is the level of all of your fears
Survival of my soul to light
I surrender the sun for your life
I challenge the Gods to die

11. The Pantheon (Jupiter's Reign)

Senatus Pompulusque Romanus SPQR
TEMPLUM OF VOX QUOD VITUALAMEN
HABITUM PRO JUPITER VENERATIO
