Diocletian the last pagan emperor of Rome. His legacy includes attempting to purge Christianity from the empire and revive tradition. His efforts were largely overshadowed and later mocked by his successor, Constantine. The Emperor who famously converted the empire to Christianity.

lyrics

*Diocletian the last pagan emperor of Rome. His legacy includes attempting to purge Christianity from the empire and revive tradition. His efforts were largely overshadowed and later mocked by his successor, Constantine. The Emperor who famously converted the empire to Christianity*

The final emperor struggles, Latium in spiritual strife
A king who rose through the ranks of carnage and conquest
Now must purge the carpenter cult from a fractured culture
A black cloud, seeping in through the cracks of our armour

Stand against the winds of change
Foreign echoes from the desert

Fulfil thine wish of martyrdom, die like your Christ
Crucified heretics bleed, a grinning coliseum cheers
Son and daughters of Adam, fed to the lions and the flames
Reduced to excrement or ash, call the true gods by their names

You betrayed the heritage of our land
For false hope and lies drawn in the sand

A plague purified by fire
Efforts to preserve tradition
Diocletian Persecution
The strongest pagan empire
Converted by a successor’s vision

The final pagan, a resolve like we’ve never seen
A reputation and legacy besmirched by emperor Constantine
A church erected above his final resting place
Spurned in death, his soul swept to Elysium with divine haste
