[the army of a'ryth-ra:]
"marching 'neath the banner of the bloodstained sword
Warriors of the oath unleash the crimson storm !
Disciples of the horned god fear the final war !
We (have) come to crush and desecrate, metal is the law !"
"metal is the law
Metal is war !"
([the emperor:]
"my blood be thine force as my flesh serve thine will !
I who grant thee this life urge thee, grant me the kill !
This oath it is sealed by honour, magic and blood !
I swear not to fail but myself become god !!!")
[the army of a'ryth-ra:]
"we've come to seal your fate, we've come with killing hate
To crush and desecrate, metal is war !"
([the emperor:] "what a splendid sight it is to see those legions march ! how hungry they are for the bloodshed !")
[the oracle of a'ryth-ra:]
"follow him, the one, the light where darkness falls...
And sing the songs of battle where the slaughter calls !
Hail the sacred conqueror, sworn to bring demise...
And when the fog of battle clears a new kingdom will rise !"
[the army of a'ryth-ra:]
"beneath the dragonsky, our banner's flying high !
Face us and you'll die !!!"
"you shall die !!!"
[the emperor:]
"i am in command to soak the killing field with blood
(i am the) high-king of my warriors, the dragonslayer-lord
My armour shining steel, i wear the sceptre, sword and ring
I am the saviour prophesized and i reign supreme !"
[the following events are pictured in chapter vii 'dethrone the tyrant king' on sacred steel's second onslaught of metallic rage "wargods of metal"]
