Breaker of Horses

Nine heroes stepped forward to see who'd face my sword
Ajax drew the shortest lot to fight
Fought from the dawn 'til dusk and neither one could win
My song the muses will recite
Why have the gods forsaken me
You must fight for your family
Apollo, I reject thee
Go, fight, slay, Hector! Kill the Greeks
False hero falls and then a lion takes his stead
My countrymen flee and leave me to face my death
Brave hero separates my body from my soul
Though I have died I won't be alone
Why have the gods forsaken me
You must fight for your family
Apollo, I reject thee
Go, fight, slay, Hector! Kill the Greeks
And my city and my family
I'll see you in Hades
Think of thine father and his helpless face behold
Seeing him in me as helpless and old
Suppliant my children's murderer to implore
And kiss these hands yet reeking with their gore

The most beautiful one
You chose a life on the run
Now your city will be buried
Your judgement is to blame
At last, love's found me
I'm trapped this can never be
My love is unrequited
I've got a one-way ticket
To Hell if I even pretend to take a chance
But then again she's worth it
And I could make this work and
Then we could run away and live hand in hand
Alas, she's taken
Perhaps the Fates were mistaken
My love is unrequited
I've got a one-way ticket
To Hell if I even pretend to take a chance
But then again she's worth it
And I could make this work and
Then we could run away and live hand in hand
This love is mine
That's by design
Can't help what fate decides
I'll raise my voice
I'll make the choice
My wish you can't deny
My love is unrequited
I've got a one-way ticket
To Hell if I even pretend to take a chance
But then again she's worth it
And I could make this work and
Then we could run away and live hand in hand
Take a chance, if you can, if you give a shit
You adore her, we implore that you act on it
Go by night, there's no sight, then you'll make your move
There's the door, start the war that your city will lose

Oh Glorious Life

Blessed in birth
What is life without glory
To those in heaven and on earth
None can replicate these stories
Should a man live anonymously
Sparing each breath, what is life without glory
For songs are sung posthumously
Feigning life that is of most men's stories
Oh goddess
Sing to me
Of the wrath of almighty Achilles
If I should die young in age
Then I say to the gods that they'll forever sing my name
Brother, forgive me
For 10 years I abandoned
(For) my pride, my obsessions
Your peace, the key to my heart
Should a man live anonymously
Sparing each breath, what is life without glory
Drops in the flood spur the savagery
And he'll rue the day that he took you from me
Oh goddess
Sing to me
Of the wrath of almighty Achilles
If I should die young in age
Then I say to the gods that they'll forever sing my name
Bringing dishonor to the fallen
What can they do to stop Achilles
What's this, a prick, and the pain starts fading
Darkness encroaching in Elysium
Now I shall reign
We'll meet again

Immolation of the Fallen

Serpent, freed of winter's lethargy
Morality be damned
These fools in drunken revelry
Vos In tenebras mittam
Leave no man alive
My father's death we will avenge
50 souls will pay the price
And your corpse gets torn off from your head
Heed the words of the devoured
And the signs from above
That your family will burn
With all that you love, so
Save what you can
Flee familiar shores
And through mother guidance
Live a few years more
My brothers and sisters gone
Taken by their self-immolation
Grief stricken, I shall move on
To my family grant them salvation
Goodbye to love
For our sake, I'll move on
No olive branch, nor dove
To save our city's mutilation
Heed the words of the devoured
And the signs from above
That your family will burn
With all that you love, so
Save what you can
Flee familiar shores
And through mother guidance
Live a few years more
Thine savage anger may I borrow
And piety briefly may I revoke
Beauty the cause of all my sorrows
Now let me slit your throat
Though beauty lives
My city burns
Though beauty lives
Mercy's unreturned
Burn
Fuck
You

Foreign Shores

We've breached the walls and taken the city
Guts and limbs scattered around
We raid their homes to reclaim Helen
Then burned it down
A fallen friend warns me
Of danger that surrounds
Troy's fallen, the city burns
Now brace yourselves, to Hell we're bound
And in the end we both take to sea
One shall return while the other must leave
Don't fear the monsters you see
Now take up your swords and fight with me
This journey will test the strength of my heart
They told me we'd never make it this far
I sing of arms and the man
Whose presence will forever change this land
I heard the sirens distant
They beckoned, calling me to follow their sound
We faced Scylla and Charybdis
All of our ships were drowned
We were cursed by the harpies
To starve until we've reached
New shores, abandoned love's silenced heartbeat
Precedes more gore
And in the end we both take to sea
One shall return while the other must leave
Don't fear the monsters you see
Now take up your swords and fight with me
This journey will test the strength of my heart
They told me we'd never make it this far
I sing of arms and the man
Whose presence will forever change this land
Love is lost, abandoned now
Nothing will keep me away
We'll meet down below, heads bowed
From the place my family lays
Fight with me son of a brother
No man, nor nymph, nor monster
Hubris consumes, your head is lost to another
Will keep me from you any longer
This odyssey has taken us so far
Family I thought was lost, behind me once more
This odyssey has taken us so far
Family I thought was lost, behind me once more
This odyssey has taken us so far
Family I thought was lost, behind me once more
I can't forgive the death of Pallas
Close your eyes Turnus, and slip into the shadows

Good and fast old school thrash reminding me of Toxic Holocaust and Municipal Waste. I really like all songs here too so it’s hard to pick just one as favourite. Highly recommended for all metalheads liking the above mentioned bands and fast paced thrash in general.

Captured By Emptiness

Successful reset. I have been following Uzziel since 2014. And I already know this song from Torn Apart. This here seems to be a new version and I love it. The great thing is getting it directly as a download. Fans of Thrash, Groove, and Dark Metal, which here and there also reminds me somehow of Sepultura, should grab it.
