"UBI VERO ABOLITIS QUAE VEREBATUR, ADESSE SIBI LIBERUM TEMPUS FACIENDI QUAE VELLET ADVERTIT, PECTORIS PATEFECIT ARCANA ET PLANIS ABSOLUTISQUE DECRETIS APERIRI TEMPLA ARISQUE HOSTIAS ADMOVERE ET REPARARI DEORUM STATUI CULTUM"
"But when his fears were ended, and he saw that the time had come when he could do as he wished, he revealed the secrets of his heart and by plain and formal decrees ordered the temples to be opened, victims brought to the altars, and the worship of the gods restored."

Fight and crush them
Let's hear the cries of dying men
Strive through the dust
To make them feel our anger!
They're so strong!
The wary will prevail
Nothing to fear
We are the most skillful men on Earth
Hold the standards!
Protect the Aquilifer!
The infantry gives a thrust
To break their bones, to cut their throats
The time which I,
As well as you, have desired
To prove ourselves supreme
To take the glory back
In Rome's name...
Kill! Kill! Cornuti hold the line!
Die! Die! Braccati give the slash!
Kill! One by one they shall fall
Under our domination!
Nothing to fear
When you are the best
ROMA Bright, the Sun which lights our glory
ROMA Ceaseless, our waves of fury
ROMA Triumph is near, I take this town for me
Argentoratum
Countless dead bodies
Lay upon the Gates of Tartarus
Wounded, half dead
Men who taste the depth of Acheron
Kill! Kill! Cornuti hold the line!
Die! Die! Braccati give the slash!
Kill! One by one they shall fall
Under our domination!
Nothing to fear
When you are the best
ROMA Bright, the Sun which lights our glory
ROMA Ceaseless, our waves of fury
ROMA Triumph is near, I take this town for me
Argentoratum
Light me up!

This Day with Pride
05:57
|
|||
|
Follow the smoke of a secret rite
Walk deep into the ground
Visions fight into my head, dropping tears, purify
Silently the Goddess has spoken... Wake up!
A shout from the army, screaming outside
Takes me out from my offerings
Naked, in blood, I answer the army's call
This is the will of the Gods
Swords hitting shields, show some respect
For the Caesar and Emperor
Rising from the ashes of glory now gone
(I) give myself to you
My family, my legion, my men
The one and only place I belong
I will remember this day for long
United, my brothers, under the same flag
We'll fight until the last man dies
We shall remember this day with pride
A clash of thunder all the way down to the ground
It's the mark of my destiny
The torc on my head shines in the silver moon
If the Gods will it, we shall restore our land
See them falling on their knees in sad prayer
Is it a curse or a fantasy?
We never kneel, we're soldiers of the ancient Gods
Side by side we fight, men, Gods and Kings
War is coming, we're ready to fight
For the Caesar and Emperor
Taking the field with a heart of fire
(I) give myself to you
My family, my legion, my men
The one and only place I belong
I will remember this day for long
United, my brothers, under the same flag
We'll fight until the last man dies
We shall remember this day with pride
You never find yourself shaking
You don't know the word... FEAR
Just to keep on marching you were born
Or to face death in battle
My family, my legion, my men
The one and only place I belong
I will remember this day for long
United, my brothers, under the same flag
We'll fight until the last man dies
We shall remember this day with pride

Live to Fight

I, Flavius Claudius Iulianus
By purple death I'm seized and fate supreme
High, hold my Eagle high
From now on, you and I, shall be one
Take my oath, by Imperial right I declare
That the glory of Rome shall return
Legions, with me
At my command: march!
Under the Gaulish Sun, I am
Sent to end the Barbarian invasion
Opening wide the gate of blood
Crush them!
Show'em the face of death as we strike
We never retreat, we always fight back
The kill, in red, will…
Light the way to glory
Light the dominions of the brave
Light the sovereign legions
Light the way, live to fight!
May the sunlight remain
When my body hits the ground
From the morning of my past, you left
To be reborn in me
High, hold my Eagle high
From now on, you and I, shall be one
Take my oath, by Imperial right I declare
That the glory of Rome shall return
Flee! I will chase you down
There's no place where you can be safe
As dawn shall clear the clouds of night
I pledge I shall be on your trail
You don't rest and neither do I
Hide your face, it's your only chance
To live one more day in disgrace, in shame
Till the day we meet again, Chnodomarius
I shall live to fight!
May the sunlight remain
When my body hits the ground
From the morning of my past, you left
To be reborn in me

Hymn to King Helios
06:47
|
|||
|
Late, awake at home
Sniffing through thy Mysteries
Trying to touch thy skin in fever
I give myself to the fog
The Goddess darkness takes me out of here
The cycle is ending, thou finally can see my hands
My eyes in Silver shade
A nine-day journey I left behind
Knowing that I'll never be the same
I see the whole so clear
The foe, the friend… the same lie in every face
Libations in honor
My secret unveiled shall remain
Step aside Galileans
We're no longer requesting thy flesh
Cause we shall finally shine
King, shine! In thy olden ray light
Watch me out from the upper realms
No man can stop me on my quest
Now the wheel is turning
The serpent met the egg
My breath, led back to thy principle
And through the fire I've seen life beyond my death
Now I walk on a better road
My King, in light, will provide me strength
No matter how dark, I'll be there
To your crown I'll sing
My eyes in Silver shade
A nine-day journey I left behind
Knowing that I'll never be the same
Step aside Galileans
We're no longer requesting thy flesh
Cause we shall finally shine
King, shine! In thy olden ray light
Watch me out from the upper realms
No man can stop me on my quest
Now the wheel is turning
King, shine! Purify the soil below
Lead my spirit and take me on
Hear me well, from my pagan heart I sing
We belong to Nature
King, King Helios

Satyrs Wine

Bring me satyrs wine
I need to drown my pain
Don't you see the clouds
Rule over the day?
Helios, Sun,
Must be you beyond that wall
No one to blame
Means you are losing control
Never forget
The Sun will rise again
Walking our streets
Is the fiction of faith
Divine for a few
And intolerant for the rest
Helios, Sun...
Will you meet me in my sleep?
No one to blame...
True God you say
It is nonsense! I say
How can a man be living
Under such a lie, instead of living…
Living life without regrets?
No one to blame...
Heal my sense, my everlasting sight
Breathe with me as the morning falls
Do not let me go, stay with me
Do not let me go unseen
My air shall be yours to breathe
Hold my will, hold my fragile time
Do not let me go, stay with me
Do not let me go unseen

Dignitas
04:19
|

|
Inflamed with war desire
Inflexible,
Filling the altars with blood
Like trumpets, my voice is heard:
Fire!
Legions storm, embrace every town
The shields sound with martial clang
Helios!
Shall you enlighten me at the end,
When all the greatness of Rome
Declines and falls
Under the fiction of a dead nazarene?
Gather the men, we made it this far
From Lutetia Parisiorum
Through the Empire to nasty Antioch
Set on foot for conquest - That's right
This life was given to me for a reason, I know
To restore our ancient fame
Listen!
The song of steely weaponry rings out!
Dignitas!
High and proud, the eyes into the field
Every clash rings in eternity
Sharpen twice, the blades strike the field
Every clash rings in eternity
Dignitas!

Proserpina
04:01
|
|||
|
I have lived long enough,
having seen one thing, that love hath an end
Goddess and maiden and queen,
be near me now and befriend.
Thou art more than the day or the morrow,
the seasons that laugh or weep
For these give joy and sorrow;
but thou, Proserpina, sleep.
Sleep, shall we sleep after all?
for the world is not sweet in the end
For the old faiths loosen and fall,
the new years ruin and rend.
Fate is a sea without shore,
and the soul is a rock that abides
But her ears are vexed with roar
and her face with the foam of the tides.
Thou hast conquered, O pale Galilean
The world has grown grey from thy breath
We have drunken of things Lethean
And fed on the fullness of death.
Clothed round with the world's desire
as with raiment, and fair as the foam,
And fleeter than kindled fire,
and a goddess, and mother of Rome.
For thine came weeping, a slave among slaves, and rejected;
but she came flushed from the full-flushed wave, and imperial, her foot on the sea.
In the night where thine eyes are as moons
in heaven, the night where thou art
Where the silence is more than all tunes,
where sleep overflows from the heart,
Therefore now at thy feet I abide
for a season in silence.
I know I shall die as my fathers died,
and sleep as they sleep; even so.
Thou hast conquered, O pale Galilean
The world has grown grey from thy breath
We have drunken of things Lethean
And fed on the fullness of death.

Bacchus
01:12
|

|
You, Dionysus? No, that can’t be true!
Bacchus, the son of Zeus I know, not you!
He smells of nectar, you just smell of goats!
Grape-less!
The Celts pour barley down their throats,
So you’re less “Bacchus” than “Back-to-the-Earth,”
Your oats are tame, not wild;
In flour, not fire your birth!
FLAVIUS CLAUDIUS IULIANUS

Walls of Ctesiphon

Never the heat on your shoulders
Felt like a burden to you
From the West I came
To take the war East, into the sand
See?
You ask for peace when you're weak
If the fight is far
It's easy to be brave
Show yourself!
How bold you look behind your walls!
It's not to me
But to Rome that you are answering!
Never going back,
I'll stand my ground
Face whatever comes
One step further into glory
Can’t you feel it now?
It's my shadow over you
Long have I waited for my time
Ready I am to fight!
Never going back,
I'll stand my ground
Face whatever comes
One step further into glory
Come to me!
I'm standing right before your walls
I'll make it quick!
And take to Rome the highest glory
Never going back,
I'll stand my ground
Face whatever comes
One step further into glory

Vicisti Galilaee
12:40

Let me lay here, time is no longer mine
I worship the Gods, they take me
Don't cry for me, I will return
When everything's gone, I'll answer
Starless night
When I fairly fell I saw an end
What's the right thing to do?
Leave my men?
Leave my dreams, fade away?
Self-denial
Where am I?
Asking... but I know the answer so well
This is Phrygia, my end
Did I fail? Did I fall from grace?
None but me says goodbye
Let me lay here, time is no longer mine
I worship the Gods, they take me
Don't cry for me, I will return
When everything's gone, I'll answer
When the Pagan Empire remembers my name
Weakening
By the loss of blood
Tireless, isn't death a reward?
I did well
So... why pain remains inside,
Still growing inside?
Making peace
I forgot what hatred did to my kin
Those who followed me know well
I've stood firm
By the Gods you know I've struggled against them
So I can die in honor
Let me lay here, time is no longer mine
I worship the Gods, they take me
Don't cry for me, I will return
When everything's gone, I'll answer
When the Pagan Empire remembers my name
How dare you, oh Fates,
To take my life so fast and let reason fall?
Hear the spears striking the shields
It's the tune which takes me higher
Foreseeing a dark age coming
The fiction of men, shall it rule the world?
Thy local creed will take all that you have
Out of Galilee shall arise no prophet
Another race
The Spring supplies
One shall fall
And another shall rise
And When thy mighty
Oh, King Helios
Touch my pale face in silence
I shall return
Let me lay here, time is no longer mine
I worship the Gods, they take me
Don't cry for me, I will return
When everything's gone, I'll answer
When the Pagan Empire remembers my name

Tersivel Malmö, Sweden
TERSIVEL is a band of altering genres, perhaps centered around vivid soundscapes, where death/doom and post-metal converge. Paganism and heathenry, along with philosophical themes, are the lyrical spine providing support to the emotions of their music.

As others have said here, a definite staple in the NWOTHM movement. It has a raw sound that is reminiscent of the era while being a solid banger for a debut album.
