about

"A Hecatombe Of Slaves"

In the bygone history of the past
an uneasy truce, existed in Spain
between the romans and the carthaginians
two eminent powers, one will remain.
Hannibal the, carthaginian leader
laid a successful, eight-month siege
beginning the, second punic war
for all who died in battle is this dirge.

Summus fuit imperator et mari et terra.

Two roman legions landed at Emperion
but Hannibal, had already left Iberia
with a heavy army he crossed the Alps
and won the battle, at Trebia.
Rome was now, on the brink of collapse
winter of CCXVI B. C.
one of the most disputed military regions
regrouped and faced, their enemy.

Summus fuit imperator et mari et terra.

Behind Carthage walls
women and children would live in fear
resolute against their fate
the enemy was so near.
Fell a tremendous rain
a bad omen sent by the gods
this people were comdemned
from Italy came an evil horde.

All the merciless legions shall attack!!!

The roman general Scipio Aemilianus
was sent to win this war, once and for all
he encircled the city with a series, of blockades
a few months enough, to see it fall.
The carthaginians with famine and disease
held out for nine months but there was no place to hide
rather than surrender they burned the city to flames
and threw themselves, onto a mass suicide.

Summus fuit imperator et mari et terra.
