Verus Hostis - A Hymn to Fire
Onwards towards an Eastern Empire<br/> From the West, my legion roams ominously<br/> Upon ruthless and merciless waves of sands<br/> Inexorable in its pursuit to exhaust us banefully<br/> Misled by an Oracle’s illusive prophecy<br/> Ethereal craft from the Netherworld<br/> Unexpected from this impious country<br/> Bewitched demons arise from the sandy soil<br/> Presence of the dark ones engulfs the light of day<br/> These wicked and lifeless necromantical warriors<br/> Cast their destructive doom of death upon my Centurions<br/> Before my very eyes their pestilence reigns upon us<br/> As one by one, my warriors descend into Hell<br/> Multitudes of blood swarm in a sea of darkness<br/> I put forth to the Dark Gods my supplication<br/> Bound in servitude, thy prayer was answered<br/> <br/> Denouncing my gods<br/> Cultivating my hate<br/> Abandoned and left to die<br/> Fury becoming me<br/> Promised bloodshed <br/> And eternal victory<br/> No solstice, no twilight<br/> Just endless suffering<br/> <br/> Enslaved by the wrath of the Titans through which I have transcended <br/> Given their gifts of immortality and vengeance, my revenge shall be eternal<br/> To curse the ones who betrayed and left me to die upon foreign sands<br/> I shall spill the blood of the blessed ones and unlock the gates of death…<br/> <br/> Titan’s Wrath…<br/> <br/> Sworn vengeance – death is upon you<br/> Aphelia will – accursed wrath<br/> Spiritual holocaust – slaughter the holy<br/> I have become the adversary<br/> Wretchedness – the new form of prayer<br/> Merciless death – upon the divine<br/> Transformation complete – conquer the enslaver<br/> A demigod forged through Titan’s Wrath<br/> <br/> Unleashed from the grasping hands of death<br/> Reborn like the Phoenix to live out my vengeance<br/> Like a lightning bolt which strikes the moon<br/> I blind the Oracle and rape beyond contempt<br/> In spite of their pathetic pious prophecies<br/> Destroying all HYPERLINK "http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/Delphian" Delphian ties to the ones above<br/> Beating Atlas on his knees suffering<br/> Forcing him to recognize my authority<br/> <br/> Solos<br/> <br/> AND YOU WILL FALL BEFORE ME<br/> <br/> The monarch whom betrayed me<br/> Shall never again stalk the earth<br/> Hades leaving his dominion of the dead<br/> And within his kingdom, I shall find glory<br/> Triumph reigns for the worthy<br/> As the walls of his paradise are rotting<br/> The gates of Tartarus are opening<br/> The signal of the Titan’s victory<br/> And the age of banishment declining<br/> <br/> Unleashing the Titans from centuries of exile<br/> Upwards from the sunless abysmal depths<br/> Our shadows casting dark shades onto the golden light<br/> The grand hills of the kingdom Olympus<br/> We break down his gates and rotting walls<br/> Their propriety relinquished in shades of red<br/> As the inchor drowns their golden halls<br/> We as wolves to prey, tear at their flesh<br/> Tasting their agony brings sweet ecstasy<br/> Proclaiming our highest profanation<br/> Their benediction scorned with our impiety<br/> In striking deviance, their pantheon waning<br/> Sacrilege wrought throughout their pompous paradise<br/> The master betrayer bound in chains before me<br/> I spit and beat upon his holy aura of purity<br/> And in abhorrence, behead his blessedness in utter blasphemy<br/> <br/> Burning the corpses<br/> The smoke chokes the earth<br/> Through our supremacy<br/> Retribution finally accomplished<br/> In my ascendancy <br/> The pantheon revoked<br/> Plunging the universe into endless suffering<br/> <br/> Atlas gives way to our diabolical ideals and kneels before us as a servant<br/> The universe collapses into utter dismay, mayhem and pandemonium reigns<br/> Once I was left for dead, now I am a master of this grotesque realm<br/> An empire forged from tyrants and an epoch of debauchery begins<br/> <br/> Titan’s Wrath…<br/> <br/> Held in my hands – ashes of adversary<br/> His head – my imperial crown<br/> My wrath - the sceptre that impales my enemies<br/> I have become Titan's Wrath<br/> Beyond life and death – tyrant of the land<br/> Victory and triumph – I am the adversary<br/> Universe in chaos – accomplished by my hand<br/> I am Titan’s Wrath<br/> <br/> Titan’s Wrath!
