HALL OF THE FALLEN

Upon the field of battle  a valkerie rides her solemn mount, wading through the souls of the dead. Oh Valhalla, I long for thee! Death or life, I await my turn. Adjusting my tunic, chest bare to the sword. Accepting my fate, Rome lives! Drums of war beat, as the brave heart. Sun beats down upon the field, Scorching the dead of Carthage, Domitia Lucilla my love, farewell, cry not for your husband. Genita-Mana holds my fate.  My bleeched bones may scatter, But I shall be with you always. March in line, my brothers! Meet the enemy with resolve! Our blood to nourish the earth, Our souls to fill the halls of the fallen. Today, we become gods!

Additional Notes:
Genita-Mana is the Roman God of life and death.
