Moritur et Ridet Lyrics


Doth not say, that

strife nought availeth

while you were fed

with your own blood

Doth not explain, how

all else faileth,

while you were

stabbed and cut

Struggle!

True, villain, a life to chase,

A true faith is my foe in field

And I, your master,

will embrace

my sword, charger

and shield

Strife! - Learn and earn

Life! - Turn and burn

Strife! - Moritur et ridet

Strife! - Learn and earn

Life! - Turn and burn

Life! - Moritur et ridet

Lions!

Attack!

Scatter the truth to seal

this bond

Ash and spark from

fatum’s hearth

Trumpet of downfall,

fanfare behond

Awake our dark siblings

on earth

The end is complete

when the lambs are dead

Soon, very soon

Freedom will come forth

when not one fled

Croon, so soon

Of neither would I ask the

favor and boon

Soon, still soon

I have asked of thee,

beloved Horned One

Swift be thy retaliation’s run!

My faith shouldn’t be thy faith

Don’t raise another one’s praise

My faith shouldn’t be thy faith

Don’t raise another one’s praise

Strife! - Learn and earn

Life! - Turn and burn

Strife! - Moritur et ridet

Strife! - Learn and earn

Life! - Turn and burn

Life! - Moritur et ridet

None of us will walk the

golden halls

or be immortalized in this

poor rhyme

As in life so in death we’ll

be thralls

without cenotaph ravaged

by time

Mars made a fool of you and me

Lured with promises and belief

‘gainst paraphrased odd enemy

I shall convert

I will bereave...

Last but not least

I need to kill

the infidels, which

will not see

that faith only,

reigned by will

is blind - idiosyncrasy

Intolerance will not

find room

or inevitable soon

become our doom

Intolerance must not

find room

or inevitable

become our doom

Strife! - Learn and earn

Life! - Turn and burn

Strife! - Moritur et ridet

Strife! - Learn and earn

Life! - Turn and burn

Life! - Moritur et ridet

Doth not say, that

strife nought availeth

while you were fed

with your own blood

Doth not explain, how

all else faileth,

while you were

stabbed and cut

A faith…

A truth…

A race…

We lose…

A lamb…in blood
