1.) A US power metal band
2.) A Pakistani death/thrash band

One is a power metal band. Cauldron Born was the vision of Howie Bentley. The guitarist and composer took years in the 90's to form a band with musicians up to his caliber. He eventually found bassist Shawn Kasack, drummer Bill Parsons, and singer Christian Shulcze. The four recorded a demo called "Swords, Sorcery, and Science" and signed with the Italian based label Underground Symphony. With new singer Danny White on board, they released their debut, "Born of the Cauldron" in 1997. After a few years and a re-release of their demos along with some older demos of Bentley's, they released their follow-up to Born of the Cauldron in 2002. It was dubbed "...And Rome Shall Fall". It also had a new vocalist, David Louden. They played several festivals in the following years with live vocalist Zane Matthews, before officially splitting in 2003.

The other is a Pakistani death/thrash band.

Blood Bath in the Arena
Cauldron Born Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The wind is moaning through the trees
And the sorceress on her knees
Sacrifice in the grove tonight

The legions are on their way and the Romans they must pay
Sorcery to crush their might

In a world not our own a king lolls on his throne

And faint, he hears the call
>From a book of ancient spells
The sorceress calls up hells
Where the lakes of blood run down like water falls

Demon come forth
Manifest rune Thorn

Thorn the vampire, Thorn the man
Thorn the king from the dying land

Today all in the arena will die except you chosen one
He who holds the sword of Spartacus

Prince of the Erin Isle brother of the sorceress
Armed with the sword by dead heroes blessed

Overall Meaning

In Cauldron Born's song "Blood Bath in the Arena," the lyrics describe a scene where a sorceress prepares to conduct a sacrifice in a grove, calling forth demons to help in the battle against the attacking Romans. The wind moans through the trees as the legions approach, but the sorceress remains on her knees, summoning the powers of sorcery to crush the might of the enemy. The song then shifts to a parallel world, where a king sits on his throne, listening to a call from a book of ancient spells. The sorceress calls upon hell and the lakes of blood to rain down, and a demon manifests through the rune Thorn.

The lyrics then turn to the arena, where all are set to die except for the chosen one, armed with the sword of Spartacus, blessed by dead heroes, and the brother of the sorceress. It's a song that speaks of power, magic, and the fight between good and evil, with demons and sorcery pitted against the forces of the Romans. The blood-soaked arena is a fitting backdrop for the battle, and the song leaves the listener wondering who will come out on top.

The wind is moaning through the trees
The sound of wind is audible amidst the trees

And the sorceress on her knees
The sorceress is kneeling down

Sacrifice in the grove tonight
A sacrifice is scheduled to take place in the grove tonight

The legions are on their way and the Romans they must pay
The legions are approaching and their enemy, the Romans, are to be defeated

Sorcery to crush their might
Magic will be employed to weaken and overpower the enemy

In a world not our own a king lolls on his throne
In a foreign land, a king lies on his throne in a leisurely manner

And faint, he hears the call
He barely hears the call

From a book of ancient spells
The call is from a book containing ancient spells

The sorceress calls up hells
The sorceress summons demons

Where the lakes of blood run down like water falls
The place where the demons are summoned is characterized by a pool of flowing blood

Demon come forth
A demon is summoned to appear
