INVICTUS - The Naphtha Storm

The Bosporus chokes under shadows of sail The massive armadas of Mecca prevail Countless legions march into the fray To sweep the last remnants of Rome right away They lock up the harbor with barriers of steel A nightmare of winter the soldiers will feel Hear the bellows breathing low in the fleet A secret weapon waiting to compete Unleash the naphtha, ignite the wild sea A tempest of napalm to set the world free The waters are burning, the infidels scream The empire survives on a sulfurous dream! Bronze siphons are aimed from the fast dromon ships As liquid damnation through weaponry slips It catches on water, it spreads on the wave And turns the whole ocean to one smoking grave The Bulgars descend with their hatchets of iron Protecting the throne of the Christian Zion Unleash the naphtha, ignite the wild sea!, A tempest of napalm to set the world free!, The waters are burning, the infidels scream!, The empire survives on a sulfurous dream! The city of gold can finally sleep, As ashes are sinking beneath the blue deep, Byzantium..., Byzantium!!!
