Lyrics

["The time for war has not yet come, but it will come, and that soon; and when it does come, my advice is to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard."
 - Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson
 The double-headed eagle goes back to several thousand years B.C. with the Hittites and remains today in several coat-of-arms, the Albanian flag, and the Teutonic order.
 This creature is such an amazing enigma that it was our first choice for the album cover and became the perfect symbol for this song of war.
 It is common usage today, for sure, but we felt this eagle, along with Prometheus, had so much more to reveal.]
 The Twin Heads: "Two beaks tear at a thousand nation's eyes
 Wings beat upon the ears of all who dare to fight
 My light shineth the way
 Forward through ash and fog and fear
 It is flaming madness I see... in all whom I command!
 Set flame to a million empirical states
 That will not bare my faces
 I am at peace with the madness of my race
 Two beaks tear at a thousand nation's eyes
 Wings beat upon the ears of all who dare to fight.
 The Warriors: "Beholdeth what we cannot see
 God of gods!
 Law by nature, by will alone
 Infinite Titanic Immortal
 Oh! Faceless might
 Grant us the sight
 Through the ash and flame
 The Hymns of chaos rise!"
 The Poet: "Warring iron gods
 And madness' undying flame
 Carmen ex ignis
 Cantus ex metus"
