When The Pillars Fall
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Let those men who do not fight
Feasting at the table of sloth
Where they spent their youth
There let them pass into old age
Weary through indolence
Not a glory to their name
The slaves of their stomachs
Who leave to us sweat and dust
Assumed the mask of virtue
Acquired a relish for idleness
Rotten with unjust pride
They pass their days till death
For as to all the arts of life
For as to all the arts of war
Is luxury a fatal vice
Destroyer of a shameless state
For a tranquil world
Situated in the embrace of silence
There is no pride in their crowned
For above their heads soar men of arms
Lifted torches light the pyres
This decadence - devastated
Si vis pacem para bellum
When the pillars collapse and fall
The land and sea, the root and branch
Of this empire shall be conquered
Si vis pacem para bellum
When the pillars collapse and fall
