"Blood and greed mark the dawn of turmoil."
Galba rises from the ashes of Neroβs 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. Galbaβs story is a chilling testament to hubris and betrayal.

Lyrics:
Tyrant by nature, Blood Thirsty rebelΒ
The march for Romeβ¦
Awaited as a savior but known for his greed and crueltyΒ
βYou will feel my wrathβ¦ ascending... time will favor me as a Godβ
Give me your lands to savor, bow to me you peasant, fill my jug with wine,
feed me your riches... Mortalβ
Executions of noble men, trial by fire for nothing
Desecration of the winds of time, Empires fall by men of greed; this, foreverΒ
The walls are closing in the four corners of Rome
Long live the revolutionβ¦ bring me the head of GalbaΒ
Blood will flow on the steps of the throne, Praetorian for the eagle of RomeΒ
Β Sit on the bowels of your sins, bleed to death on the roads of lightΒ
Otho, I bring you the head of Galba, chosen by the sword, Rise Emperor!
A solis ortu usque ad occasum
