The Triumphator Lyrics


Now he stands

Forged in the fires of tribulation

Burdened with uncertainty

The Triumphator awaits oblivion

No man is born equal

And no man is born free

Memento mori…

A slave indentured to a system of hierarchical antipathy

The man against time, born of unyielding anachronism

A nation in coma, blissfully distracted in their apathy

He can no longer slumber in their asinine mysticism

Memento mori….

Creeps into his soul and sets his mortal fibre dismally aghast

Deception sold as hollow truths to the somnambulant paupers

He cruelly shatters their mercurial illusions as broken glass

Burdened with this cold truth, his bones on fire as he rejects the augurs

A proselytization like fire, reckoned through his soul

Cleansed of impurities, the Triumphator invictus

His iron-cast will bends fate’s capricious nature

His fortitude, a sceptre upon incredulous mythos

The infirm are but stepping stones upon his ascension

The bones of those he conquered are his hard-won throne

Through eternal struggle and bloody condemnation

He is faced with the inevitable, and thus remembers…

No man is born equal

And no man is born free

Memento mori…

The filth buried in his soul’s recesses whisper their bitter truths

The scar tissue upon his psyche fragment and bleed profusely

Upon the sight of the plebeian masses squandering their youth

No man is born equal or free, lessons etched in blood for eternity

The Triumphator stands above all

Harnesses fate’s will to conquer the self

Their arrogance their downfall

With indignant pride, they squander their lives

Deaf to oblivion’s harsh call

No man has the right to live

Forcibly made to crawl

The Triumphator stands above all

Triumphator….

Now he stands….

Over all that he is conquered, over all his achievements

He is but a slave to the whisper trawled from the depths of his spirit

Indentured to the burden of life’s imperative aggrievement

Memento mori – the cold fire that will either bury or set thee ablaze

Vir triumphalis upon a graveyard of victories and triumphs

As all his accomplishments and all memory of his existence will fade

Like others, his flesh and his bones succumbs to the eroding sands

Time, the great thief makes mockery of man’s achievements

As legends distort, and once vital truths become hollow

This relentless wheel of entropic progression grinds on

Until all light is extinguished from every star, in every galaxy

In every part of the universe collapses and fucking dies

Here his achievements stand

Upon a weathered tombstone

Forgotten in time

As legends fade and gods die

As legends fade and gods die
