- A defunct progressive metalcore band from Brighton, UK, who released an EP 'One Hundred'. Centurion made quite a mark on their home turf and beyond, swinging their hefty, death plated punch at the heads of grateful punters nationwide at shows alongside their aforementioned townsmen, as well as the likes of Horse The Band, Ephel Duath and Every Time I Die. Centurion also toured as main support to acclaimed British crew Bring Me The Horizon, and were flown over to Sweden to play at the 2006 Treasurefest alongside the likes of Purified In Blood and Jeniferever.
Centurion offered up a thick stew of hyper-aggressive riffing and mammoth grooves, splicing the mix with flashes of accomplished technicality and vehement vocal bile, yet the quintet manage to retain an irresistible mood of energy and, dare it be said, fun in their live performance.
With press plaudits already flowing and a solid fanbase built, Centurion raised their game, their r debut E.P ‘One Hundred’ an unrelenting metallic drama that swings between ferocious and epic with a masterful ease. ‘One Hundred’ caught the attention of respected UK label In At The Deep End (Gallows, Architects, Send More Paramedics), and the label will be unleashing the E.P in early 2007. Centurion also hit the road again in January as support to Japanese metalcore crew Versus The Night, and opened for hometown compadres Architects and Canadian newcomers The Gorgeous on selected dates of their UK trek.

Mors Tua Vita Mea
Centurion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
through preachers an TVs
We're unleashed like hurricanes
We were born to catch the fate
Speedmen ride the blazing engines
through lies and deals we turn
By supersonic warmachines
we learned to eat and survive
Since the night of times to the end of the world
Rules mother nature
We were born to kill to survive
Kill to survive
Fucking tyrants lost the control
You said it's evil game
Roman reapers shred the faces
When you understand it's always too late
Monsters burn bright fuel so fast
straight through the veins of neck
You're sneaking and creeping to escape
Don't fight against the law of life
The lyrics to Centurion's song "Mors Tua Vita Mea" speak to the idea that life is a wild journey, full of highs and lows, that we must navigate through. The "preachers and TVs" may refer to the constant influx of messages and opinions we receive every day, often pulling us in different directions. The lyrics suggest that we are meant to be free, like hurricanes, and that we must catch our fate - perhaps implying that we create our destiny rather than simply existing within it. The idea of "supersonic warmachines" could represent the many technological advancements in society, both empowering and overwhelming us. Through all of this, the idea of survival is paramount, as we were "born to kill to survive." The second verse speaks to the loss of control and the inevitability of death. The image of "Roman reapers" and "monsters burning bright fuel" are frightening but also illustrate the fleeting nature of life. In the end, one cannot fight against the "law of life", and we must accept the cycle of birth and death.
Overall, the song could be interpreted as a call to embrace life fully, with all its complexities and challenges, and to strive to leave a mark on the world before our time is up.
