Bestiarii 03:01
The last times have come upon us Though I'm alive while I write to you I'm eager to depart this world I'm a prisoner a condemned man I no longer wish to live after the manner of men I, the wheat of God, by the wild beasts shall be ground Let fire and the cross Let tearing Breaking Dislocation of the bone The hordes of wild beasts The shredding of limbs Let the shattering of the whole body All the torments of the devil upon me I desire to die Allow me to fall prey Entice the beasts so that they'll become my grave "Who are you, evil demon Who persuades others into treason Who so zealously guides his people Into breaking every command" "Cause I'm the enemy of the gods Of your heathen people Therefore you call me wicked Then my Optimus Princeps I quite agree" "I command thee to be devoured And in torment perish" Pray that I be torn until nothing is left So when I fall asleep I may be trouble to no one What shall be profit to a man, if he gained the whole world but lost his soul?

Hornburg 05:00
The sky laid dead Atop the darkest grey The stillness of the heavy air Forebodes a storm of raging rain Will it start in time To hide away our tears Be brave March To the gates To defend our race A cry out from the walls The enemy is at hand Thunder impales the virgin night Revealing the countless faceless hordes That have come to take our land, and our lives Arrows fly away Like raindrops they fall Swords crashing louder than the storm To stop the White Hand Ride forth Eorlingas your king demands alliance Ride forth Eorlingas the faithless, the wicked shall Fall Crushed By the weight of their own sinful wrath Under the one true king Can the race of men Come together once again Defend the Hornburg Like heroes of past With the blood of the brave Pave the way the path for The return of the heir To rebuild the throne To crush the one That feeds from greed, pride, envy and Fear Lift high Swords and banners The wicked the faithless shall Fall Away As the moon begins her slumber The firstborn rays of sun Bring with them a sign of hope From the hills far above As promised he is come A cry out from the walls The enemy is fleeing Devoured by the woods Under the true king We'll come together as one The advance has been stopped Heroes names have been forged Sweat, tears and blood Signs the honor of the just Horns are blown In celebration The heir has returned

Smýrnē 03:04
We write to you brothers What relates to our teacher's fate Ending the persecution Sealed by his noble death When his pursuers came He set supper for them Until the time to leave He didn't cease to pray They marveled at his constancy and age "Was so much effort made to seize a righteous man?" -"Swear by the fortune of Lord Caesar And repent your ways" -"It's unfit to repent righteousness In the fire without motion, I'll remain Needlessly bind me with nails I must be burnt alive" As the flame blazed It shaped around our friend From his body, a sweet odor came That of smoking frankincense Sharp dagger in hand Pierced through came blessed Polycarp's end A blameless life he led Crowned and praised in death -"Swear by the fortune of Lord Caesar And repent your ways" -"It's unfit to repent righteousness In the fire without motion, I'll remain Needlessly bind me with nails I must be burnt alive" "Eighty and six years have I served Him And He never did me wrong How then can I now blaspheme my King My Savior?"

Empel 06:39
As they march toward battle Each foot lands like lead Tired legs, tired souls Thirsting lips, hungry mouths No signs of crops No trace of livestock No chance for truce No incoming backup Completely blocked by the enemy Their lives for the Kingdom To defend the Faith Day by day the blockade lengthens No war supplies, no dry clothes left Only the cold, water and mud Only the cold, water, mud, and loss of hope The five thousand pray Death over dishonor We will talk of surrender after death Our Queen in Heaven Despair fills our starving souls Blessed is the fruit of thy womb Pray for us mother Now and at the hour of our death Will any of us live to fight another day Waters surround the camp Only 50 meters of dry land As the soldiers dig a trench A wooden picture is found Joy fills the camp "Hunger and cold defeat us, The immaculate comes to save us" Then the icy wind blew Freezing all the water Igniting their hearts In the dark of night Marching over ice In the dark of night Towards victory Attack Our Queen in Heaven Despair fills our starving souls Blessed is the fruit of thy womb Pray for us mother Now the hour of our death Will any of us live To fight another day It could only be a miracle Your prayers for our souls Will time erase what was known by all Our Queen in Heaven Despair fills our starving souls Blessed is the fruit of thy womb Pray for us mother Now and at the hour of our death Will any of us live To Fight Another day Our Queen in Heaven Despair feeds our starving souls (will any of us live) (to fight another day) Blessed is the fruit of thy womb (Pray for us now, And at the hour of our) Death
