In the Shadow of Foreign Horses Lyrics


Hark the blazing steeds

kicking up earth

full speed assault

to decimate foreign tribes

fire soaked homes

built of earthen clay

crudely tended fields

burning in mid day

Obscure weapons

cutting flesh like crop

discomfited farmers

scatter to and fro

brandishing sticks

and odd hunting tools

sat upon beasts

without saddles or courage

Riding to destroy

slaughter for the king

bastard swine flurry

spearless warriors

huddled in cattle barns

hiding children witness

the price of the unRome

in the shadow of foreign horses

Their destiny chained to failure

scurrying rat bastards

try to protect their kin

cannot stop the western minds

clad in bronze and arrogance

Filed into columns cretin men

observantly weak broken beings

scuffle in ring and chain

embarrassed by their cowardice

Spineless inherited

sold as slaven yolk folk

tripping on their bondage and

weeping at their fertile ground

Bonded boarded woman

shame their use as a herd

savage men, kennel whipped

Colosseum fod' for the games

Unruly hoodlums

beaten to death naked and hung

the dead sweat from their brow

kissed away by widowed lips

Servant brands bestowed

blistered on arms of the owned

hungry children grip

iron locked bars of the cage

these miserable bastards

class segregated

and trimmed for coin and master

Bonded, locked away as bullion

broken... cast away like wild beast

their servant brands bestow
