[Lyric] The Fiddle the Fire (Ex Deo)
It was a calm night The eerie sound of distant wolves Made themselves heard into the night It was as if Romulus himself tried to warn the gods At the Circus Maximus The darkened smoke came alive The crows roam over with death in sight The fire burns the flesh It burns the earth It burns the soul The fire rages The distant sounds of fear Oh what...Learn MorerockEx Deo[Lyric] The Fall of Claudius (Ex Deo)
"I, Claudius, will tell you how to frame you laws Profiteering and bribery will stop The senate will function only in the name of Roman justice And all of you who have acquired position dishonestly will be replaced by men who love Rome better than their purses I will break everything rotten in the senate like an old dry twig On that basis only will...Learn MorerockEx Deo[Lyric] The Head of the Snake (Ex Deo)
Mother, how have the gods betrayed you You cradled me into a monster Paranoia infects my mind You whispered lies to me You whispered words of deceit I remember everything Brother, how have the gods betrayed you Innocent, but you must die Poisoned, poisoned, poisoned, poisoned Now sleep little brother, sleep forever Why couldn't you love...Learn MorerockEx Deo[Lyric] What Artist Dies in Me… (Ex Deo)
You have no idea who I am Can you feel the havoc inside?

Seneca, tell me, can an emperor be an actor? But I love it, music is the way to the soul It gives me freedom from this prison It makes my fly to the world The plebs, they love me They want to hear me sing These rich filthy animals These so called senators They repel me They want to see me lay in a pool of blood, my blood I Nero will skin them...Learn MorerockEx Deo[Lyric] The Revolt of Galba (Ex Deo)
As the dust settles in the night The old voices of the fallen Emperors of fortitude Come to haunt the once glorious lands You can still hear Nero's poems In the arena of death Presence, so glorious and magnificent So envious in its elegance The essence of domination Of resilience, of power and struggle Entwined in centuries to come From Hispania...Learn MorerockEx Deo[Lyric] Boudicca Queen of the Iceni (Ex Deo)
"Britannia must be annexed, by orders of Emperor Nero under the prudent guidance of Seneca." You raped my children You had me flogged You broke the treaty And spat on the king's will Betrayer of all things sacred Your eagles bathe in sin of blood and lust Immortal enemies Tribal chants of unity Celtic warriors Under the sun (Under the sun) Lift...Learn MorerockEx Deo[Lyric] Britannia: The 9th at Camulodonum (Ex Deo)
Like madness running through their veins Bloodthirsty to avenge the occupiers Riddled with hate The allied Iceni came roaring through the land Cut though the Roman habitants Boudicca with fire in her eyes The taste of blood, none shall live None shall escape, all shall perish 9th at Camulodonum, behold the eagle of Rome 9th at Camulodonum, the...Learn MorerockEx Deo[Lyric] Imperator (Ex Deo)
From the bowels of eternal fire Risen deep from the womb of Hell I breathe the power (Power) Stricken from the poisonous tongue Of filth and scum Strangulate the earth of the purest blood I laid in the eagle's nest surrounded by serpents The days of silence are over See the winds of devastation Rein in the terror Bring in the madness My mother's...Learn MorerockEx Deo
