Nero 03:39
lyrics
I am Nero, the emperor of the Rome The master of the world and the lord of the throne I have everything I want, but get nothing in return So I set the city ablaze and watch it burn Nero's inferno, Nero's inferno I play my lyre while Rome is on fire Nero's inferno, Nero's inferno I play my lyre while Rome is on fire I blamed the Christians for the flames and smoke Punished them badly and made them a joke Fed them to the lions, crucify on the cross Enjoyed their screams, they deserved their loss Nero's inferno, Nero's inferno I play my lyre while Rome is on fire Nero's inferno, Nero's inferno I play my lyre while Rome is on fire Nero's inferno, Nero's inferno I play my lyre while Rome is on fire Nero's inferno, Nero's inferno I play my lyre while Rome is on fire Soon my reign will end and I will face my fate The Senate will declare me a public enemy of the state My allies will forsake me, friends will betray I'll take my life away, that's how I'll decay Nero's inferno, Nero's inferno I play my lyre while Rome is on fire Nero's inferno, Nero's inferno I play my lyre while Rome is on fire

Slave Trader 04:30
lyrics
I'm a slave trader in a great empire I sell people for gold, and search for people in dire I don't care about their lives and I don't care about pain I like my profit and I like my gain I'm proud of what I do, I don't feel any guilt I'm following the order, the Gods have built I'm a master of my trade, I know how to deal I'm a slave trader and I love the thrill From Judea, to Iberia From Sahara to the coasts of Britannia Slave trader, slave trader, Free man, living bold Slave trader, slave trader, I'll sell your people For the gold Slave trader, slave trader, Free man, living bold I'll sell your people, I'll sell your people I'll sell your people, For the gold I travel across the lands, I see many hopeless faces I take children from their burning homes I lock them in the cages I’m rich son of the bitch And have many, many enemies They try to steal me, they try to kill me They try to steal my properties

Legendary is the empire, the greatest of them all Legendary are the battles, the victories and the foes Legendary is the reason, legendary is the plan Legendary is the purpose, legendary is the man Legendary are the horrors, the slaughters and the pain Crucifixions and the scars, the madness and the stain Legionary, legendary Legionary, legendary Legendary are the lands, the cities and the shrines Legendary are the spoils, the riches and the wines Legendary are the roads, the bridges and the walls Legendary are the laws, the orders and our goals Legendary are the horrors, the slaughters and the pain Crucifixions and the scars, the madness and the stain Legionary, legendary Legionary, legendary Legionary, legendary My blood and my steel Legionary, legendary For dead empire dream I am standing in testudo Archers, walls, boiled oil I am standing in testudo Here on this enemy soil

Attila 04:32
lyrics
Listen to me, young one, and I’ll tell you a tale A tale from the end of our last page Of a man who brought us dark age He killed my friends, beheaded my lords He sieged our cities, and took our gold His name was Attila, the King of the Huns Attila, the scourge of Gods He was the son and King of the Huns He broke the treaties and he started the wars He sacked the cities and he burned the towns He made the Romans and the Persians bow He crossed the rivers and he raided the lands He allied with the Goths and he fought the Franks He spared no one, took no prisoners He was the terror, unbeatable He was Attila, scourge of the Gods He was the one, feared by all He was Attila, scourge of the Gods He was the one, feared by all He was Attila, scourge of the Gods He was the one, feared by all He was Attila, scourge of the Gods He was the one, feared by all These were days with eclipse of the sun The clouds were dark, the soil was black The sulfur in the air and smell of the death The corpses, screams, Attila was there He married a princess and he died in bed No one know how and who found him dead He left no records of his deeds Only the scars on the lands he seized

The Rhyme of Mark Antony 07:07
lyrics
I met her in Egypt, so long ago Her beauty caught my eye, and I just had to have her by my side We had dream together, I don't regret a single day Our love was something divine, something that could not be denied Now they call me a traitor, a fool, and her slave They said she bewitched me, and led me astray They said she caused the war, she set the fire I challenged the Rome, because of my desire Now is the end, in this desert sand Our dreams are dead and buried forever Our love was strong, but fate had other plans And now our empire will simply perish Now the legions march upon our doors Octavian won, the final hour has come for us my dear I’ll stab my chest and you take a snake Don't be afraid, we’ll meet again in the underworld’s lake

Order of Tyranny 04:35
lyrics
Born into slavery, my life was never mine Sold on the market, forced to work all the time Heavy chains on my feet, I’m a slave in the cell Living in a nightmare, Can’t escape from this hell I called for justice, but it never came my way The guards are cruel men, they beat me every day I am trapped in the chains, I am trapped and I scream I am living in a nightmare, in this never ending dream No rights no dignity No hope no destiny No rights no dignity In this order of tyranny No rights no dignity No hope no destiny No rights and no dignity In this order of tyranny I wake up every day, to the sound of a whip I work from dawn till dusk, my hands are starting to rip I’m tired and I’m hungry, but I can’t stop to rest My life is a prison, I’m just a slave at best Pax Romana brought peace, but not for the slaves like me We are still oppressed, our lives will never be Heavy chains on my feet, I’m a slave in the cell Living in a nightmare, Can’t escape from this hell

Dead Empire 03:54
lyrics
The empire that once stood so tall Now is in ruins, crumble and fall The glory of Rome fades to gray As the wars and disasters take all away Emperors are weak and corrupt The senate is divided and bankrupt People are starving and are oppressed The Gods are silent and not impressed with Dead Empire, Dead Empire Fading into history Dead Empire, Dead Empire Stories of victories and misery The empires’ legions once so strong Now can’t protect our borders for much long The barbarians are standing at the gates Is it too late to change our fate? The city of Rome is burning bright The flames are lighting up the night The sackers are looting and raping Survivors are fleeing and escaping from Dead Empire, Dead Empire Fading into history Dead Empire, Dead Empire Stories of victories and misery
