lyrics

May the 22nd, 337, city of Constantinople, (capital of the Roman Empire since 330), Emperor Constantine is dead.
Flavius, son of Gaius, is speaking about Constantine and his reign:

Twenty five years ago, it was a constellation of churches in private houses.
Then myriads of churches rose up high beside the old temples in the empire.
Constantine supported the Church financially, granted privileges to clergy,
Promoted Christians to high office
And returned properties confiscated during the Great Persecution

He took the gold from the temples and created a new coin
Without the symbols of the old gods
The Chi Rho between his hands
Christian symbols were everywhere

To unify the Church is to unify the empire
The Bishops and priests take more and more
Power and authority
Fighting heretics

They are spreading the pestilence
Contagion, contamination, religion of the disease
They are spreading the pestilence
Infection, among society, religion of the deceased

He shut down the gladiator games,
He authorized donations to the Church,
Expressed his disgust for acts of sacrifice and idol worship, misguided rites and ceremonials
He legislated against magic and private divination,
He even gave orders for the pillaging and the tearing down of temples.

The persecuted are becoming the persecutors!

God of Christians, Gods of Pagans
Won't save us now because we are alone in this world and we decide!

Solo: Kiato Luu

They are spreading the pestilence
Contagion, contamination, religion of the disease
They are spreading the pestilence
Infection, among society, religion of the deceased
They are spreading the pestilence
Rejection, among society, denial of religions

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

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
