DESCRIZIONE DEL BRANO (ITA):

L'imperatore otteneva il favore delle sue genti organizzando degli spettacoli cruenti che avvenivano all'interno delle arene. Inizialmente i gladiatori erano spesso schiavi e prigionieri di guerra, particolarmente incattiviti per la loro condizione e le sofferenze subite. La grandezza dell'impero veniva esaltata in questi grandiosi eventi, rappresentati nel bagno di sangue delle arene, da noi evocati nel brano SLAVES OV THE EMPIRE.


OVERVIEW OF SONG (ENG):

The Emperor obtained the support of his people by organizing bloody exhibitions, which took place inside the arenas. At the beginning, Gladiators were often slaves and prisoners of war, particularly gone mad because of their life conditions and their suffering. The greatness of the Empire was enhanced during these great events, represented in the bloodbath of the arenas, all this has been recalled in our song SLAVES OV THE EMPIRE.


LYRICS:

Born as a prisoner ov the great empire
Unfair and dominated by greed
Getting favor from its people in the bloodbath of the arenas

The screaming and enraptured crowd
The end is grimmer
Cheering towards the leader
That makes Rome so great

His lineage rich of history his descended ancestors
Bravely on the battlefield defeated looking for freedom

Uri, vinciri, verberari, ferroque necari!

In the arena will try to prove my courage
One day I'll have back in my hands
The Rudis for the last time
Quit fighting was coward when you are already defeated

Dust and daze
Gladius in the hands
The glory is waiting for them

Death by popular acclamation
Many times celebrated
Trained to regale
The glory is waiting for them

BellĀte
Morituri

Wild and angry beasts with sharp teeth
Violently massacred the net wraps
The warrior of fire that defends himself by a hammer
But like Neptune he pierces him with his trident

They fight by staging
The bloody clash symbol of the greatness of the empire

Uri, vinciri, verberari, ferroque necari
