Beneath the Eyes of Mars

from the time of the seven kings
til the tyrants iron rule
fate written with the stroke of steel
broken spear in bloody pool
Roman will must be fulfilled
drumbeat on a march to war
the slave collar for those not killed
their hollow screams ring evermore

beneath the eyes of mars
red orb glaring down
beneath the eyes of mars
tribute: bloody ground
eagles lead us to glory
ever the victor writes the story

Gradiavus, blood drunk god
lead your sons in endless war
Ultor, hands nailed to the senate door
beneath the eye of mars
brave deeds must be seen
lest the victory stand incomplete
the blasphemy of swords kept clean

beneath the eyes of mars
red orb glaring down
beneath the eyes of mars
tribute: bloody ground
eagles lead us to glory
ever the victor writes the story

fate written with the stroke of steel
as we march in endless war
blood and thunder
in legend live forever more
