lyrics

(Messala)
Be wise! For it's a Roman world you live in
If you have will to survive, you must become part of it
Judah, I tell you! Fate chose us to conquer the world, connect every corner
Our laws, our codes, our architecture, paved roads, our Legions rout every tribe and place
The glory of the human race

(Judah)
For you I would do anything, but not betray my people
The past and future of our tribe, to your will we won’t proscribe
For the sake of friendship, I will not commit sedition, this evil, this treason!

You may conquer our land, you may slaughter our children
But that is not the end, we stand above, rise again
A man can be broken, but you cannot break his spirit
An idea cannot be vanquished when its fiery words are spoken

(Messala)
You should know when you’ve been conquered, your dreams are dead and gone
You live off myths of the past, the lost glory of Solomon
Your prophets will not rise again.... Look to the future; look to the west!

(Judah)
An affront to our god, strangling his people
You control the whole of the Earth, and steal its lives and freedom
A day will come that Rome will fall, freedom will be heard
Such as the world has never seen, the page of tyranny turned!

You may conquer our land, you may slaughter our children
But that is not the end, we stand above, rise again
A man can be broken, but you cannot break his spirit
An idea cannot be vanquished, when its fiery words are spoken

You may conquer our land, you may slaughter our children
But that is not the end, we stand above, rise again
A man can be broken, but you cannot break his spirit
I swear I’ll take my vengeance, for justice, for triumph!

The spirit to fight, the sense to control it
My soul is full of hate
Keeps me alive, gives me strength

ROW, ROW, ROW, ROW, ROW, ROW, ROW, ROW!
BATTLE SPEED! ATTACK SPEED!
RAMMING SPEED! ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK!

Everything Dies (Collaboration)
by Human Serpent/Isolert

supported by 4 fans who also own “Son of Arrius”

The second (03:01) I heard that angry bellow gurgling upwards as from the depths of hell, conquering the composition, rising in intensity, and climaxing more than half a minute later (a geyser of blood spouting up from Tartaros, breaching subterranean roofs and spewing forth onto the face of the earth), I was engrossed hook, line and sinker. Drawn into the underworldly dark. Vocal performances like these never fail to conjure a grin on my face. The Disillusioned One

The Bleakness Of Our Constant
by Eneferens

supported by 4 fans who also own “Son of Arrius”

Eneferens out-melodics Opeth, out-blackgazes Alcest, and combines the ethereality of shoegaze with introspective folky black metal more seamlessly than a Reese's cup combines chocolate and peanut butter. Really beautiful, and my favorite Eneferens album thus far. Lauren
