1. Prelude (...to The Gods Of War)

[Instrumental]

2. Serenade Upon Mount Aryx

By the shores of sicilia
On mountains under crimson skies
Blowing winds, running wild
Climbing the steeply cliffs

While an adolescent boy
Watches the vast wide shores
And the rising mighty sun
From beyond the deep

From the forest roads
To the Carthisian camp
The last stand on the Italian shores
To be delivered to the Roman troops

Oh sweet land that is stolen
Oh sweet land that is usurped

The great Hammilkart
Prepares the army to retreat
As the signing of the treaty is done
Ships from home land will come

Oh sweet land that is stolen
Oh sweet land that is usurped

And young Hannibal observes
The ships of surrender, they come
To carry what’s left
Of mercenary army
Back home

And the soil of Carthage land
That long forgotten here they respite
And another chapter is fold
So another will begin

With civil war that will delay
The plans of hammilkart
Of a new colony
In a new land to defy the Roman power

And what’s to come
In the distant future
And what will be known of a young boy that will…

From the lands of Spain
Will raise an army
To a land far beyond
To Rome itself

3. Conquest Of Iberia

Thundering heavens, roaring gods
Whispering to hamilkart,
(What’s to come: )
A concealed land beyond the sea
Awaits the beloved
(Sons of Baal)
From inside the palace chambers
Plans of conquest are in progression

Masterminds assembled in,

All to the lands of
(Silver and gold)

Blessings of the gods to be taken
And all will have to swear
The alliance to Hammilkart

And the eternal hate to Rome
A pledge that young Hannibal
Will carry all his life

By the morning light
As the incense fills the air
All will allies the general

A ceremony of revere
Where all will swear
Their alliance to the cause

“You’re going to carry these words
All your life
A hate that should grow
More and more

And my son
These word you will pass
To the ones who
Ride for you
And in blood Rome will pay
…And Rome will pay…
Blood

I swear that as soon as age will permit
I will use fire and steel
I will use fire and steel
To arrest the destiny of Rome”

As the new colonies
Fills the shores of Spain their power
Their aspire is to be perturbed
Dark clouds
Shrouds the destiny of hammilkart
Oblivion to
His Death, his life will confine

Riding with his sons
By the river shores
Death looms on them afast

Tribes
Seeking revenge
His life will soon arrest

Not dread of
What’s to come?
Elusive away they ride

Martyr
He’ll become
So his sons would live on

His body’s lost
But his deeds
Will ever and ever reside

4. Death Of The Father ... Saguntum

Mourners gather from all around
Paying their final homage
Women dressed in black
Wail in sorrow and distress

Weeping skies mourn their beloved child
The sun shades its light behind
Rain drop as tears of weeping gods

And embraces his sleeping soul
Elevating in the pale grey sky
Up to the chambers of immortals
And have its eternal rest

Hasdrubal,
A new command
In Cartagena we - will revive

New lands
Our new gains
The tribes to us shall submit

Years
Years and years
Would pass with multi gain

Until
One shameful day
Hasdrubal is assassinated

Who,
Shall be the one in command

To sway us
Through this turmoil

And revenge
The death of our king

One man
The army hailed to sway

Hannibal… Hannibal… Hannibal

The army shall say its word
A man oblivion his name they call
Stepping up in the glazing sun
With his hand up they salute

Hannibal… Hannibal… Hannibal

Olcades, Vaccaeans, Carpesians
All fell to my hands

Tersosians, Iberians, Celtics
Will join my invasions

Sera Guadrama to me
It shall bow

All of Spain from the Tagus to the Ebro
Is in my iron grip

One city remains aside
This city then made a big slip-up
Our realm is never to be assailed
Saguntum shall pay for its acts

Just one more campaign
Just one more siege to be done
Eight month in the count
And death shall engulf the assailants

5. Arise And Arrest The Destiny Of Rome

Falling … falling… the walls are falling
Screaming… screaming… you’ll be screaming
Bleeding… bleeding… your men are bleeding
Women… weeping… for u they will be weeping

Blood and guts grime our swords
Heads on spikes pleasure our gods

Standing… standing… tall and mighty
Reaching… touching… the heavens above
Daring… willing… to conquer all
To ascend the albs… to touch on the skies… triumph in our grip… till the eternity

Elephants, men and horses
As ghosts we move concealed
Through forests and rivers
Obscured from eyes we march

Through mountain rims we cross
Blizzards we all defy
All tribes we tame
To our cause they strive

Many they fall
Engulfed by snow
Weariness will never
Put us down

At last we see
The green fields ahead
The gates of Rome
Will rumble now

Battles and clashes
History will amend

Kingdom made
From soil

And to soil
It will return

Under our feet
Mere ruins

It shall
Buuuuuurn

6. Trepia Trazimian Cannie

[Instrumental]

7. Abhore The Antagonists

War…
At the gates of Rome
Hannibal…
Ante portas

Hell…
Will turn loose
Killing fields…
Legions shall fall

First clash…
Shores of Ticinus
Unwary Scipio…
Wounded and defeated

Back…
Legions retreat
First defeat
Mightier we get
--Sempronius…
Filled with rush
Dead …
Would become

Flaminius…
Blindly in trap will fall
Fogs of death
Will engulf his men

Aemilius…
With mightiest of legions
3 to 1
80 thousand men

Engulfed
By the concave plan
Cannae…
The mightiest of battles

16 years will pass
And no one can rise
To prevail over the genius
Except for one man

With one insight
And will be known
As Scipio Africanus
And the famous lines

“Take the war to Carthage”
Which will save
The walls of Rome
The wrath they dread

The Carthaginian dishearten
Called back their son
To defend and defeat
The luring enemy

Behind their gates
As he returned in hurry
With missing horsemen
The wind will change

(As African allies
Will aid Rome
With decisive element
Men on horses!)

8. A Final Fight

A final stand, a final fight
On our land, the deceive strike
Invaders we were, Defenders we’ve come

Outside the walls
We gaze at death

All our deeds, all our feats
Now nothing means in deed
Desert winds awaits to engulf the dead

Outside our walls
We embrace war

Treason swept our troops
Nomads deflected to the enemy
A colossal beast we face
But brave and proud we stand

Horns are blown
Decisive it will be
At Zama the due
An amuse for “Death”

Charging elephants
Scattered and alarmed
Horns of fear
Down they fall

All seems lost
Braver we fought
But battle is lost
The war is lost

A shameful peace
We desert our arms
We desert our pride

To the Roman beast
In Hesitate
We now bow

Hannibal
Reside as a threat
Will have to flee

(From court to court)
Bewail glories of the past
What doom will await

Weary
And all is lost

Captive
Will never transpire

His fate
His to claim

Poison
Will rest his soul

To be
Engulfed by the sea

In honor
All will end

The heart
Of Rome

At last
Will be at ease

9. Sealed With Poison

[Instrumental]
