Tactical warfare
Delivering death
Stench fills the air
Lies beyond life our strength
The chariots surround the enemies
Iron weapons bent
Foes possessed by fear ...And pain
His outstretched arms
Wielding a red sword
Unleash the speed horses
The stench of death rewards
Again
The land is finally their
Domain
The mighty ambassador proclaims
The end!
AMBAXTOI!

Qetesh

Oh, QETESH, deity of intercourse
Stream thy heat on us
Bring the human instinct forth
The breeding mild
The species thrive
Surviving the wild
Then the urge turns to lust
Proficiency without birth
Extinguished from the earth

Eridu

Get ready to receive
The gift of civilization
Genesis is composed
Rising the entire nation
Solo: DAVID
It sprouts the seeds of life
In the boat of dereliction
Stolen by Jesus Christ
And his tale of fiction
Solo: EDUARDO
Where the gods dim the knowledge of glory
Where the gods eat the seed of the forbidden tree
Where the gods renounce the sacred and the holy
Where the gods deny the will of immortality

Incitatus
05:04
|
|||
A shiny purple coat
For an always tacit priest
Eating golden oats
A jewel-necklaced beast
It shines plain irony
A steady consul oath
Animal insanity
For the senate to loathe
The dinner is placed
In the ivory trough
Sneering at their hate
His sarcastic scoff
A house made of marble
In the unicorn dome
Under the crafty corbel
A fortune for Rome
Solo: DAVID

Baetylus
06:18
|
|||
A large flint
Coned shaped obelisk
Wears the wool
Garbed deity
Pour the oil
Make the pebble shine
Hefty boulder
Stone divine
The hollow life
The futile creed
The blank existence
The stupid belief
The hollow… life
The futile… creed
The blank… existence
The stupid… belief

The Will of Ningirsu
04:50
|
|||
Stele of the Vultures
The Will of Ningirsu
Phalanxes towards the battlefield
Spears above the vultures
Stepping on severed heads
Surround the king on a scud
A priest stepping in offal
Libation served in blood
A horned beast with breasts
Maces over her shoulders
Leads the ritual of death
Stele of the Vultures
Decapitated soldiers
Nourishing flying predators
The will of Ningirsu
Stele of the Vultures
Solo: DAVID

Oh, almighty smoking mirror black
We are all your eternal slaves
The one whom we live by, worship thee
We stoop down all the nights and days
Born, fire, wind, night
Lord, dire, fiend, deny!
Solo: DAVID
Oh, Lord of the near and nigh
Enemy of both sides, night and wind
Possessor of the sky and earth, will shine
Thou shall rule as our king
Solo: RUDOLPH
AMBIENT: Music ADAPTED FROM Synaulia, "Music Of Ancient Rome, vol. 1"
Oh, ruler of the storms at north
Deliver us to your sorcery
Thou art the living death unborn
Hast haunted all Our forfended enemies

Orthostat
06:09
|
|||
Bring your dead warriors
Bleak, piled in stacks
Cast'em into the earth
And raise the Orthostat
Release the bane of life
Departure from the flesh
Existence declines
Into the Orthostat
Tomb
Monolith!
Perpetual
Death!
Solo: RUDOLPH
Solo: DAVID
