Die Romverliebten EX DEO, um Kataklysms Maurizio Iacono, haben den vierten und letzten Track ihrer Year Of The Four Emperors“ EP online gestellt, die im Januar erschienen ist. Wie immer gibt es symphonisch angehauchten, mächtig klingenden melodischere Death Metal, mit Bezug zum römischen Kaiserreich.
EX DEO schreiben zum Lyricclip:
„Blood and greed mark the dawn of turmoil.“ Galba rises from the ashes of Nero’s reign, a tyrant cloaked in the guise of savior. The track mirrors his ruthless ascent, dominated by unrelenting riffs and venomous proclamations of power. His insatiable hunger for wealth and domination sets the tone for the chaos to follow. As the walls of Rome close in, the Praetorian Guard turns against him in a violent crescendo, heralding his downfall. Galba’s story is a chilling testament to hubris and betrayal.“

Lyrics:
Tyrant by nature, Blood Thirsty rebel
The march for Rome…
Awaited as a savior but known for his greed and cruelty
“You will feel my wrath… ascending… time will favor me as a God”
Give me your lands to savor, bow to me you peasant, fill my jug with wine,
feed me your riches… Mortal”
Executions of noble men, trial by fire for nothing
Desecration of the winds of time, Empires fall by men of greed; this, forever
The walls are closing in the four corners of Rome
Long live the revolution… bring me the head of Galba
Blood will flow on the steps of the throne, Praetorian for the eagle of Rome
Sit on the bowels of your sins, bleed to death on the roads of light
Otho, I bring you the head of Galba, chosen by the sword, Rise Emperor!
A solis ortu usque ad occasum
