lyrics

381-391, promulgation of many laws against Christian heretics, confiscation of numerous heretic churches in the empire
386-387, destruction of the temple of Zeus-Belos in Apamea, Syria, by Christians
388, destruction of a synagogue in Callinicum, Syria, by Christians
389-391, promulgation of the Theodosian decrees which established a practical ban on paganism
391, destruction of the temple of Serapis in Alexandria, Egypt, by Christian monks and roman soldiers

Marcus is speaking about those events which occurred during the reign of Theodosius I and Valentinian II:

Emperors are advised by Ambrose, the bishop of Milan
They have proscribed pagan sacrifices
And have forbidden anyone to visit the temples
And have criminalized magistrates who do not enforce anti-Pagan laws

Rise of terror, rise of intolerance
Rise of terror, rise of intolerance

A heavy fine of gold for anyone who makes blood sacrifices in temples and shrines
Income for pagan temples is over and done with
But this new god is as useless as the old ones
Because illness, tyranny, dearth and death are everywhere

Armies of fanatic monks driven by their bishops
Speech of hatred and madness is spreading in the air like flies, like plague, again

Desecration of pagan images, statues, temples, shrines,
Destruction and madness are spreading again, and again

Temples in ruins, gods in disgrace
Fallen society, we are in disgrace

Rise of terror, rise of intolerance
Rise of terror, rise of intolerance
Rise of terror, rise of intolerance
Rise of terror, rise of intolerance
