Abikyokan – Chrysopolis

LYRICS:
Licinius said, to the men by his side,
“Don’t look at the banner’s bright eyes!
With the power of christ, he’s abandoned the gods, and plans to throw them aside.”
Constantine rode, his banner held strong, as javelins ripped his men apart.
The swinging of swords and the snapping of spears, with a hundred thousand men on a side.
With the empire healed, one man and one Rome, one god for the entire world.
Licinius fled with his wife and his child, in Thessaloniki they retired.
But Constantine’s men they killed father and son leaving Constantia all alone. And later he killed his own wife and child, is this a true apostle of god?
Jupiter, Mars, and Apollo must wait.
Cleopatra

Part I
Wrapped up in a carpet
Unravel her deepest charm
Caesar takes her right to him
to penetrate her deepest heart
So easy to blame a woman
society will eat itself
Weakening all their manhood
as incest will take its toll
Wrapped up in a battle
There’s fire on the open sea
Antony and Cleopatra
Escape to their suicide
So easy to blame a woman
Society can fuck itself
Masculine little jokers
as incest will take its toll
Part II
Hurry come to the river
the pleasure barge is here
Gilded birds and silver serpents
the writings on the deck
Hold the snake to breast
A fleeting type of life
Antony he smiles
in red and white he dies
Hold the snake to breast
A lovely suicide
The fangs dip in and kill
a lovely suicide
Hurry to the river
the snakes have come to feed
Silver birds and serpents
that’s really all you need
Hold the snake to breast
A fleeting type of life
Antony he smiles
in red and white he dies
Hold the snake to breast
a lovely suicide
the fangs dip in and kill
A lovely way to die
Hold the snake to breast
A deadly suicide
The fangs dip in and kill
a lovely way to die
Hold the snake breast
a bitter suicide
the fangs dip in and kill
A better way to die

Lyrics:
With the lord’s name
paint over your shields
Visions of Christ,
or was it a meteorite
A cross flashed
A holy blinding light
With this sign you will conquer
With this sign you will conquer
And rushing across the bridge,
Maxentius fell right in
Swords, men, and spears
flowing down the Tiber
And with his head on a spike,
Constantine marched into Rome
A head on a spike,
Constantine marched into Rome
With this sign you will conquer
With this sign you will conquer
