The origins of Rome and the link between first king and first emperor.
lyrics
*The origins of Rome and the link between first king and first emperor*
A hate-bred conception
A shameful birth, twins discarded, left to perish
Fate ordains a rescue from the tide by a she-wolf
Protected in her cave, the obsidian orifice of origin: The Lupercal
Raised by the lupine matriarch, they grow, forged in the fires of war
This is the rise of the Lupercalian
He that leaps over my battlements shall perish
Brother strikes down brother, the first king crowned, from the dirt he ascends
To find the first kingdom, to find Rome, lighting the beacon
Raising the world from the dark, marching his armies, carving his mark
Centuries pass, a palace is built atop the cave
The Emperor, first citizen, communes with mother-wolf
Romulus and Augustus, linked by birthplace of empire
Lupercalian spirits rise to the heights of immortal legacy
Possessed with the lupine spirit to conquer
Possessed by war, possessed by fire, and desire
supported by 173 fans who also own “Lupercalian Spirits Rise”
Some of the best raw black metal I’ve heard in a while. So many infectious riffs it’s absurd. Easily my favorite release from lamp of Murmuur. HyperboreanFrost
