Romulus and Remus

In similar kind the blood of violent dynasty's remains distinct without conscience its empire of centuries branded hot upon the slave born sweat and to dictatorship bring the mind and soul of greed for in the bestial mouth ever shall the vampire feed Better then to rule in heaven yet still be the Lords of Hell and give empty promise of redemption then offer up their lives for sale By generations of fouled footed print walk with acid in the barter of flesh so with hapless reward may acquit a lifetimes worthless forfeit for the evil men do is counted replete beyond love and honour but to inglorious cause shall bleed their defeat and so leave their children to suffer Hate, by its name attest lead all innocence to corruption deny the living and lead all to death then in common dirt to bury them In laughter's symphony raise their anthem when in coloured rags allot the cup of tears for the sustenance of hope for unknown soldiers entomb this inconsequential martyrdom Drag their world to cruelties coldest chill of all who stand above the flock and in the career of the heel seek adulation's throne with venom their sufferings bemock the blood of their saviors hang by iron nail and in the cheering of the raucous mob construct their prison and condemned them by the roar of the crowd Better then to befoul the heavens and praise the Lords of Hell this lineage of human excommunication offers up their Eden for sale
