lyrics

October the 28th, 312, the Milvian bridge, near the city of Rome:

Roman legions of Constantine the Great:
"Raise the Cross, raise the Cross, raise the Cross, raise the Cross!"

Gaius, a soldier:
"I hear them chanting but I remain silent…
I wonder why our emperor has decided to choose another God
A god that we don't know anything about
They told us to do this, so like every soldier, I obey without dissent, I obey without meaning
The meaning of my life… I am so young now but so many men I have already killed…
Since I was a child, I've wondered if the gods are real!
So why would this one be different?"

Roman legions of Constantine the Great:
"Raise the Cross, raise the Cross!
And with this sign we shall win!
Raise the Cross! Raise the Cross! Raise the Cross!
And with this sign you shall die!"

Gaius:
"How strange are the gods who want the death of thousands of men like me…
I am so sad of this madness that shall come soon because I saw this so many times

I read the story of the Roman Empire, I learnt it from my father,
He told me about the gods, his doubt about their existence
He observed the same things, new emperor, new conquest, new gods, old pain
I must remember this, I must choose the freedom of reason!

Attack!
Battle rages on, I see the bridge of Milvian and my emperor is winning
Maxentius is drowning, Constantine looks at me and I can see our future, being chanted by the legions."

Roman legions of Constantine the Great:
"We are the soldiers of a new god
We are the soldiers of a new god
Raise the Cross, raise the Cross
This god shall kill them all!
This god shall kill us all!"

Mass of Perdition
by Ordalie

A band you have never heard of? Why? Following still the same labels which feed you with the same ole stuff? Think about it and think about it again because you stopped to care. Enjoy the pain. Lavadome productions

Embryo

There is no life after life, there's not even life, and there's no souls, there's just this dark matter which mutates and transforms. And devours. Lavadome productions

There's something charming about bands that don't give a shit what you like and just do their own thing. Is it death metal? Grind? Tech hardcore? Who the fuck knows? It's fun though. Ghuughra
