Lyrics
Vae Victis
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.
The town is still burning when you throw your sword
On the scales
You're like the Lord of Hades
Breaking up in the world of light
Awful warrior of chaos
Came from the fog
Of the unknown
With your creaming horde
Of embers of hell
You bring here the terror
You bring here the hate
Destruction and sacrilege
They'll never forget
This is written
With the fire
For hundreds
And hundreds years
Until the wings of
Vengeance
Will be dipped in the blood
Of your breed
Ancestral fear of chaos
From the deep
Of their hearts
Now you are here
Bringer of death
Eternal battle of giants
Eternal battle of gods
Darkness and light
Order and disorder
On fight
Vae victis vae,
A thunder your voice,
Your sword on the scales
Vae victis vae,
Iron for gold,
Humbling exchange
Vae victis vae,
A burning defeat,
An oath of revenge
Vae victis vae,
Unforgettable fire,
Unforgettable shame
