Glistening Tiamat

Observe the blessed sea
And its tranquility
Behold the primeval waters
Whence all life has come
See what they've done with it
Do they deserve it?
Weakness and complacency
A waste
O Glistening One
Hear our prayer
Bring the flood
Kill the weak
Watch as the waters destroy their homes
Men, women, and children
Watch as the light drains from their eyes
Worthless wastes of life

Raktakunda
05:51
|

Gathered together, a time of peace and joy
Celebrating decadence
Everyone present, a feast for the ages
Abundant in excess
Under the shadow of the imperial palace
Caught in a trap
Completely oblivious to a grand design
Of my own creation
Safe in my palace two hundred miles away
I lie in wait
Waiting there for my beloved son
Soon to be prince
The day draws to an end and the family gathers unknowing
All of the scum, all in one place
No one shall be spared
Raktakunda!
Five hundred year dynasty brought to an end
At the pull of a trigger
Now they shall know the meaning of pain and defeat
Tonight we achieve heights so long sought
Ten lie dead in a pool of blood at my feet
Return to the capital, I arrive now in triumph
My position well deserved as king
Raktakunda!

They breed not to build but to kill
To plunder and to take what they desire
Uncivilized barbarian horde
Not a shred of human decency
Gathered at the borders of the north
Impenetrable wall of awesome might
Constant agitation of the citizenry
We cannot merely sit by in complacency
Destroy the Temple of Jupiter!
Desecrate the Altar of Victory!
Tear the shrouds of the Vestal Virgins!
Only by the sword comes power
In time the weak shall fade away
Tear the shrouds of the Vestal Virgins!
Barbarian tribes gathered in the north
Fearsome mighty warriors all along the borders
Gallic legions gather all with conquering in mind
And an arrogance that drives them to the Rhine
Surrounded in the rain, betrayed and left to die
Barbarians awaiting them storm into the lines
Victorious Germanic soldiers stand among the ashes
And wash in the blood of twenty thousand dead
Destroy the Temple of Jupiter!
Desecrate the Altar of Victory!
Tear the shrouds of the Vestal Virgins!
Only by the sword comes power
In time the weak shall fade away
Tear the shrouds of the Vestal Virgins!
Rome shall never expand beyond the Rhine
Humbled by unconquered savagery
Throughout the rise and fall of countless empires
The barbarian remains
Destroy the Temple of Jupiter!
Tear the shrouds of the Vestal Virgins!

By Sword and by Scourge
04:19
|
|||
Heeding the call of the ancient spectral masters
An archaic creed, following the old ones
Demon blooded beasts descending from the hills
Masters of phantasmal warfare
Innocents tortured and enslaved
Peaceful village now a barren landscape
Their fields all in flames
Feasting upon the bodies of the virtuous
Village guards flee in fear
By sword do we conquer and by scourge do we rule
The time of ascendancy is now
Lay waste to the population of the conquered
Enslave the souls of all those who remain
Feeding on their life force, extracting vital essence
Discard the rotten husks, devoid of all humanity'
One thousand years
We lie in wait
Stories passed to frightened children
Of unearthly creatures resting deep in sleep
One thousand years
We will return
With an unquenchable thirst
For innocent life
Mad with lust we stream out from the hills
This time none shall escape

Konradin

1268
Illegitimate pretender on the throne
The Hohenstaufen blood is running thin
The time to act is growing ever nearer
Konradin take up thy sword
And take that which you know well to be yours
Prepare thyself to march straight into battle
Take by force the thread of destiny
"Bright victim
To ambition's altar led
Crowned with all the flowers
That Heaven on Earth can shed"
Met on the Palentine Plains
A glorious final charge
Brave Konradin
Fails to take the thread of destiny
"Bright victim
To ambition's altar led
Crowned with all the flowers
That Heaven on Earth can shed"
Weak Konradin
Your throne remains out of reach
Flee from the field you coward!
Your bloodline has run out

Master of the Whores
06:30
|

Hatred for your way of life
I commit debaucherous experiments
Far in my hidden isle
Where dwells the vile
Surround myself with disgusting subhumans
A life of pure perversity
Pain and pleasure are one
Far in my hidden isle
Feed them to the hounds
Put them all in the ground
Here I am a god
I, the Master of the Whores
Neglect necessities of life
Waste away in seclusion
A rotting husk of a human
I will never stop
Feed them to the hounds
Put them all in the ground
I perish all alone
I, the Master of the Whores

The world has lost its vision
The world has lost its purpose
The world has become enchanted
By Tyrian Purple and Antioch leather

The Legionary
08:12
|
|||
Thrice defeated
Stripped of my titles
No longer of use
To the Roman war machine
They failed to pay my price
And the old protector is dead
My numbers grow ever stronger
They all will pay
Storm into the peninsula
Cities crushed under mighty Gothic army
Trampled under hoof of brutal Northern horse
They suffer for their treachery
Still they fail to pay
Only one choice remains
Kill every Roman
Destroy the Eternal City
Roma delenda est!
Ave Alaric Rex!
The city has fallen
The Empire is dead
Impaled by the sword
Total Visigoth victory
Roma delenda est!
Ave Alaric Rex!
With nowhere left to go
The legionary lies in defeat
