*Sentencing thy enemy to vicious torture and violent demise*
I’d rather see Elysium in flames
Before I extended you with mercy
Cowering, whimpering, under my fucking boot
Savour the torture at hand, because afterwards...
You’ll be discarded, in the catacombs where rats reign
You’ll discover your perdition, in the catacombs where rats reign
Every pound of flesh beaten and gouged
Every sinew ripped and lacerated
Every inch of skin flayed and fed to beasts
All of this pain you must endure…
Before you’re tossed, in the catacombs where rats reign
Before you suffer, in the catacombs where rats reign
And you will rot, in the catacombs where rats reign
And you will be forgotten, in the catacombs where rats reign
Yellow eyes and teeth pierce the cold, wet, dark
They flock and scurry towards you
Suffocated by an army of plague-wielding vermin
You screams echo to no one
Cries of pain only urge them on
This is both their kingdom and your tomb

*Rome’s war in Dacia*
Strength and Honour!
The sigil of the wolf and banner of the eagle, the golden standard reigns
We are the unyielding force of progress, submit or perish in vain
Through forest and thorn and mountain we march, until we cross the northern bank
And there at the shadow of the iron gates we fight, flank by flank
And we conquer, conquer the Carpathians
And we war, war for Emperor Trajan
We spill blood at the foot of the mountains, cleaving limb from limb
This soil we fight upon in our sights, since Rome’s first would-be king
Causalities are many, our enemy relentless in the Transylvanian mist
But our victory is secured, the Dacian’s crushed by our mighty Roman fist
We stamped out the dragon, we crushed its jaws and severed its tongues
The serpent is not match for the wolf, the battle fought and the lupine won
Now restoring the finance of Rome with Transylvanian gold
Our imperial presence felt in the region ‘til our Empire turns old

Beyond Hadrian's Wall

*An ancient evil lurking beyond the wall*
The barrier stands erected in the fog, the frontier ends here
But what lays beyond the wall? Tall tales and myths are recounted
Legends of apparitions far from human, and beasts reserved for nightmares
Nothing from man’s imagination can compare to what lurks beyond
Not even stars dare shine, beyond the wall
Not even gods dare tread, beyond the wall
Soldiers disappear from their posts, foreign prints lead into the expanse
Faint screams and echoes of pain ring out from somewhere in the black
Something scrapes at the boundary, longing, moaning in the dead of night
The wall wasn’t built for a border, but as a marker for where we shouldn’t wander
Men have other enemies than just each other, a primitive evil hungers, beyond the wall
And even the strongest of wolves, are like lambs in its jaws, beyond the wall
An ancient predator, a creature with many names stalks its prey, beyond the wall
An eternal malevolence reaps and razes and will never expire, beyond the wall

*Purging the human remnant / half in thy self to ascend as complete werewolf. A dark lupine emperor*
Carving across my flesh with a jagged obsidian blade
My ancestors observe as stone simulacra
Veins, like the roots of a weed, must be severed
Weeping sanguine impurity under the black star
Kneeling upon the altar I expunge all that is weak within
The ritual concludes as I drain my Hibernian half
I stand atop my terrace now, the full moon drawn like a bow
I ascend as unspoiled lupine, as a king under the black star
As Emperor
Have the Trumpets blow, to the let the kingdoms know
That I’ve been purged, and with my imperial half merged
