The-Atlantean - The Atlantean: Rome - The Eagle's Gift

Verse 1:
When dawn's red banners streak the sky unfurled
The eagle's chilling cry cuts through the world
Talons extended, piercing fate's designs
An ominous shadow where conquest aligns
None dare defy its silhouette of dread
All tremble at those shrieks of shadow and red
For in its wings, an empire's might takes flight
The bloody birth of glory born that night

Hook:
All kneel at its behest or be erased
Such is the price for pride misplaced
No stronghold, no bulwark can stem its advance
All are but playthings ensnared in its dark dance
Kingdoms demolished, royalty unbound

Verse 2:
Descending from its aerie on high
A lethal blizzard raining from the sky
As Roman legions rampage cross the plain
The earth lies paralyzed, caught in its reign
No scepter'd sovereign can forestall its dive
No noble house or regal reign survive
The world convulses, split from mass and bone
As the eagle's dark shadow smothers every throne

Hook:
Beak and talon rending all
Pride and pomp begin to fall
The eagle casts its dread pall
Bringing ruin to those enthralled
The eagle reigns supreme, imperium!
Over lands and over seas, victoriam!
The eagle reigns supreme, imperium!
Over lands and over seas, victoriam!
Bow before its might, omnium!
Resistance futile, ruinam! Omnium!
All kneel at its behest or be erased
Such is the price for pride misplaced
No stronghold, no bulwark can stem its advance
All are but playthings ensnared in its dark dance
Kingdoms demolished, royalty unbound
Pride and power dethroned and run aground
