Diocletianic Persecution Lyrics

Diocletianic persecution.
Flogged, crucified and burned alive.

Enforcement of pagan traditions.
Protected by the signum Iovis.
Restoration of the imperial cult.
Universal sacrifice, ira deorum.

Damnatio ad bestias, throwing christians to the lions.

Beaten, imprisoned and tortured.
Insulting the holy cross.
Scourged, lapidated and beheaded.
Mocking the martyrs' corpses.

Destroying the parasitic traitors.

Purification through extermination.
Discipline through bloodshed.
Regime of terror, embodiment of ferocity.
Reign of intolerance, tetrarchy of cruelty.
