"A dark and relentless anthem, this track embodies Vitellius’ brutal reign. The music swells with martial intensity, reflecting his thirst for conquest and the savagery that defined his rule. From the echoes of his allegiance to Nero to the inevitable clash with Vespasian’s forces, the song crescendos into chaos. The lyrics reveal a man driven by bloodlust yet powerless to escape his fate. Vitellius’ violent end is portrayed with haunting finality, a reminder of Rome's volatile power."

Lyrics:

Dreadful and spiteful, I bring the spoils of warΒ 
My brutality is felt in every land I plundered, the fire in my eyes is beyond the skies...

I am Vitellius, the new King of Rome, bow to my reign, kiss the ring of deathΒ 

Tiberius… Caligula...Β  I feel the Blood you installed upon me…

From the hands of Egypt comes the rise of VespasianΒ 
The oracles predicted a ruler from Judea will rule all of RomeΒ 

There’s no way out from facingΒ the sword of truth

The battle will be lost, and order restoredΒ 
Glory to thee, as you fall in your own savagery, Emperor of death… Vitellius

Vespasian in the name of Rome, the eagle is bestowed
