Praetor of Mercury

Mercury!
 Red lights eclipse the sun
 To Rome!
 Alesia!
 Aventinus!
 Called by the messenger of gods
 A wind of plague is blowing
 The stench of mass extinction
 The raise of a Red flag augurs
 Upsurging rivers of blood
 Surrendered by starvation
 They marched there before dawn
 The spoils of war delivered
 Unworthy lives of men
 This is an era of warfare
 The absolution demise
 Leaders of the world sacrifying their men
 With fear and craven guiding their way
 The throne is deified
 The Law becomes the faith
 Power is given to the hand of the divine
 Butchering the savages, slaughtering the innocents
 Praetor of the void is negating their lives
 Deities taking abode in new sanctuaries
 Ritual of summoning away divinities
 The idols are hammered, broken
 Sacrilegious scorn of the enemy shrines
 Fortified settlements
 Erected to the sky
 Hostages beheaded
 Their limbs are fed to the hounds
 Surrendered by starvation
 They marched there before dawn
 The spoils of war delivered
 Unworthy lives of men
