Part I: Rex Nemorensis (Based on a poem by Baron Macaulay I)
Those trees in whose dim shadow
The ghastly priest doth reign
The priest who slew the slayer,
And shall himself be slain.
Rex Nemorensis (king of the grove)
Rex Nemorensis (priest of Diana at Nemi)
Rex Nemorensis (king of the grove)
Rex Nemorensis (a crown of thorns)
The highest price for power I have paid
For my vanity a truly phyrric trade
King for days or for years, but now the sun has set
Watching it bleed on the horizon fills me with regret
The black-robed ruler finds no peace
As he slumbers forever in Arrician woods
The golden bough has sealed his fate
Watch the fall – and rebirth of a god!
Those trees in whose dim shadow
The ghastly priest doth reign
The priest who slew the slayer,
And shall himself be slain.
Part II: To Embrace the End (instrumental)
