Lyrics

[00:05] The Siege
[00:09] Scorched earth we left
[00:11] A barren land of ash
[00:13] Our fatherland laid waste
[00:14] Be the void our fucking monument
[00:17] At a leaden dawn
[00:19] At this ominous morn
[00:21] Pila loomed on the horizon
[00:23] Talons of the wolverine
[00:25] Exanimate legions formed
[00:27] At the very gates of Avaricum
[00:29] Believed invulnerable
[00:31] This calling wall
[00:34] But straight out of nowhere
[00:35] Before our eyes this godsdawn bane arose
[02:23][00:38] Thus Avaricum burns
[02:25][00:40] Under a dead sky
[02:27][00:42] Avaricum drowns
[02:29][00:44] In blood and demise
[00:55] Siege towers emerged
[00:56] Protruding from the ground
[00:58] Standing out against the threatening sky
[01:00] As if to mock all valiantness
[01:03] Face to face with an eye-levelled enemy
[01:07] Serried Roman ranks
[01:09] Embattled upon our hold
[01:50][01:42] Cut off and trapped inside
[02:00] As the carnage was at hand
[02:07] As the creak of the winches extolled our doom
[02:12] The slaughter befell Avaricum
[02:14] Dead suffused the oppidum
[02:16] Left to pillage, sack and rape
[02:18] Avaricum the brave became Avaricum the grave
