Pyrrhic Victory

Waste Deep
Wading
Through a swamp of your conquest
Through the dregs of your carnage
This victory
Has awarded freedom to thee
Walk anywhere you please
Tragedy
Trudging tired legs that bleed
Through bodies
Piled up high for crows to feed
This consequence
Thirst for blood now quenched
No recompense
Your nostrils fill with moldered stench
Jaws clenched
Familiar faces gaze up from the trench
No defence
Their blood is guilt and you are drenched
Pyrrhic victory
Cannot see through this fog of war
Pyrrhic victory
Achievement negated by this heavy toll

Divination
Victory
Scourged body
Scarred children
Take up arms
Temples crumble
Escape to Gaul
Outnumbered battle
Island soaked in blood
Abdicate Londinium
Surrender the weak
Cut down by insurgents
Abscond the wrath
Warrior queen

Hannibal

I will use fire and steel
To arrest the destiny of Rome
Into the alps
Warpath of ice
Vengeance passed down
On the back of an elephant
Cannae
Catastrophe
Humiliation
Foreign invasion
Hesitation
Defeat
Halted
Retreat
Turncoat
Fugitive
Try to flee
The imperial reach
Reduced to an advisor
In exile survival
I will use fire and steel
To arrest the destiny of Rome

Vercingetorix

Over mountains
Legions march
Suppress insurrection
Trail of scorched earth
Seize Vercingetorix
Demonstrate dominance
Suppress insurrection
Trail of scorched earth
Hunted down
Nowhere to run
Besieged behind stone walls
Thousands starve
Incendiary
Brought to a knee
An act of surrender
The martyr dragged back in chains
Paraded through
The streets of the capital
A message to all
Publicly strangled
Vigilance
Destroy
Decapitate
All

Ambushed betrayed
Mired in the dense forest
Surrounded
Javelins pierce flesh
No escape
None are spared
Surrounded
Javelins pierce flesh
No escape
Varus falls upon his sword 20,000 left to die
The sun sets on this epoch
This time of subjugation ends
