The Monolith Deathcult - Demigod

Lyrics:

The great Persian serpent lies in wait
Let us face his army of immortals
We shall butcher those hunters of men's souls
and crush their nimbus of immortality

An anabis against the son of Darius
whose slave-army arrived on the beaches of Thermopylae
To extort earth and water
and treat us with perversity and death

Wretched is their Persian culture of shame and triviality
We shall never bow for the self-proclaimed Demigod
Let us butcher the legions of slaves and sorcerers
Wave after wave will shatter on our shields
Their steps slower, their breaths quicker
Distract their morale, pile the dead high!
Our spears and swords shall pierce their armour
Cut their carotids! Break their spirits!
Down with the God-King Xerxes

A beast is approaching us
Its magnitude will blot out the sun
We shall drink Persian blood
And find our glory in the final arrow hail

We blaspheme the tyrant
Earth and water
Under the banner of Hercules
For the eternal glory of Sparta
Death to the Persian invaders!

[Anorexia80]

Great song! From which opera is the great melody beginning from 4:43? I could not recall it for my shame :( Please answer me if you know it...

[AthCom]

@Anorexia80 Don't know, I don't even know whether it's from an opera to begin with.

[blashyrhkRAAA]

teh fuck? 300?

[AthCom]

Yeah, why not?

[blashyrhkRAAA]

meh, just seems like a really commercial theme for a song.

[AthCom]

I just figured I'd put it in for shits and giggles, it's all about the music anyway... plus.. TMDC do historical themes all the time, and indeed, this one proves to be a very effective one.

But this all doesn't matter, I could remove it if I'd like to. Just enjoy the track. I know I do.

Stay metal!

Why is that cover art so awesome? It's quite simple and I can't quite figure out why it's so effective.

[Mmxz14]

Holy fucking hell. THANK YOU!

[IronMat86]

It's a roman horseman battle mask! |,,/

@JunkCCCP No, it is the T-1000

[tmdchq]

@Anorexia80 it isn't from an opera. It is based on the theme which is played by a fanfare when Vito Corleone commit his first murder in Godfather 2

[JunkCCCP]

Isn't the cover art that guy from Gladiator? Or is it just very similar? I remember he had a metal facemask like that for sure... it was a different helmet though, I think.

Great song, in any case.

@Muloc7253 Historical value, latin is awesome, cultural value. Intimidation/War reference. That list goes on and on. Sure beats some fat guy with a beard and a guitar. It's epic , I want a huge poster of that tbh (no not the fat guy, fu trolls)

[Diphrael]

One of the best songs of all time, ever.
