1.
A curse on both our houses I'm gonna burn
2.
I know that you are out there waiting for me but you don't know the lengths I will go I'll be up in the clouds and you'll be waiting on a boat So enjoy the next two years while you can
3.
Over the Alps into Italy the ground it will tremble beneath our feet With black skin and eyes so blue I will find or make a way to you There is no winter frozen no summer so molten that I could not carve my way to you I am coming with everything I have to take it all away from you
4.
I can see the fear in your faces I know the road we have chosen is cold frozen with the ghosts of old but we must go on If it takes ten billion paces or more before we can carry our torches into that foreign land again
5.
Rubbed in oil dressed in snow see they can scarcely carry bows and arrows the first ones pass but we will let them go wait still my breathing stones No I do not need to break your bodies down but your a wall of flesh and bones and that's all to me you're just a wall that's come between what I have and what I need To set my fathers restless spirit free see I took an oath in blood so long ago and now I'm a stones throw from bringing that promise home Wait Go now and greet your enemy and do your best to set his spirit free wrap your arms around the sons of Rome and find the soft between their bones
6.
An eerie mist slips darkly down the mountainside sickly clouds spill blindness in the lake We walk shoulder to shoulder the silence hangs up above us like a dead man And so we dye the banks of lake Trasimene
7.
8.
Overwhelming me I can feel it up above and in the blood that's underneath me Goodbye Cannae The butchers are closing in and they're bound to drive us one and all right out of our skins Goodbye Cannae
9.
Bath House I 04:07
They gathered up all of the men in the bath house and kept the doors locked until no one was breathing to show us that they had no love for the source of the blood in which all of our bodies were covered I had a dream that the ghost of a child God in his voice in the way he was glowing Said follow but do not look over your shoulder but mortal I could not resist the temptation I saw A serpent came down from the clouds and it swallowed the life from the world leaving wild bloody rivers and thunderbolts fell all around him turning the rest of the world into ashes and cinder Oh my God what have I done The city opened up it's gates I wiped the blood I wiped the tear from my face
10.
11.
Lions 02:44
12.
Your face is so clean a piece of you a piece of me your eyes slightly closed your mouth barely open It seems like your're trying to say "I'm sorry that I couldn't provide, the strength you so desperately need." My brother's blood on my hands I held my brothers life in my hands now I hold my brothers head in my hands both of our heads in my hands
13.
14.
Thunderbolt come home we need you now back in Africa let the South Italian peninsula slip away your war is almost over You were right all along we were such fools to doubt you the jewel of the Mediterranean is crumbling Oh please come and save us from what we deserve Should I spare you from the wolves it won't be love but hate that has delivered you you may not call me your son I was born to the wilderness of war I gave an eye to see that I would never be beaten at all while you counted coins behind your walls of perfume and robes If not for my oath of blood long ago I would pitch the wolves your fragrant bones
15.
We met early in the morning you were radiant and young and I knew that you were the one who'd finally come to end my war My wild beasts they all turned against me what could I do but look on as you turned the only life I ever knew into hot rotten death You gathered up our fleet and you burned them in the bay so half crazy splitting at the sides and shedding white hot lightning tears from my one wild eye but I didn't blame you no I didn't blame you We met early in the morning an invincible ghost come down from the mouth of Hell to sink your teeth deep into our throats My father and his brother were swallowed in your wrath lost in the bath of limbs newly hacked I was one of the few who barely made it back and time crept past Now I've ghosts all my own I've set them on your home through blood and broken bone I've finally found you I've finally found you We met early in the morning I spared your life you let my city live and in the time that passed I spoke in your defense I took your warning on the run My life stopped making sense I hid my name beneath a stone Oh ungrateful fatherland thou hast not even my bones
16.
Poison Ring 04:55
Poison ring you have always been there for me all I ever had to do was reach and it would be over Let us free the Romans from the anxiety they have so long experienced since it tries their patience to much to wait for an old man's death
