Spartacus
Triumvirat Lyrics

The day is gone
The battle is over and the night has come

The sky is red
The sky is red with the blood of the fallen soldiers

A bloody shine deceitful peace
The appearance of peace is only a facade, as it comes after so much bloodshed

It's just a break
The end of the battle is only a temporary respite from the violence

The fighter's need
The soldiers need to rest and recover before the fighting resumes

Tomorrow's sunrise waits for more
The next day will bring more fighting and more bloodshed

Think of tomorrow
Despite the horrors of the present, there is still hope for a better future

Yesterday's burden
The memories of past battles and losses still weigh heavily on the soldiers

Nearly forgotten
Despite the weight of the past, the soldiers must focus on the present and the future

In a corner of your mind
The memories of the past are not gone, but they are not at the forefront of the soldiers' minds

There's heaven above you
Despite the violence and chaos of the battlefield, there is still a sense of something greater and more peaceful above

A starry blanket
The night sky is peaceful and beautiful, in contrast to the violence on the ground

You dream in the darkness
Even in the midst of the horrors of war, the soldiers still have hope and dreams

Of tomorrow
Their hopes and dreams are focused on a better future

Sky so blue the sun is shining high
The scene shifts to a new day, with a bright blue sky and high sun

On the battlefield you see them die
The violence of the battle continues, with soldiers dying all around

Fighting bravely never getting weak
Despite the ongoing violence, the soldiers continue to fight with bravery and strength

There's no mercy in this dust and heat
The brutal conditions of the battlefield offer no mercy or respite to the soldiers

Spartacus stands, sword in his hands
The focus shifts to the hero of the song, Spartacus, standing strong with his sword ready

Drawing a blood line all around
Symbolically, Spartacus is drawing a line between freedom and tyranny, and the ground is stained with blood

Fighting so hard for a new start
Spartacus and his followers are fighting for a better future and a new beginning, free from oppression

He stands like a rock
Spartacus is strong and immovable in the midst of the chaotic battlefield

In the surge of the sea
The chaos and violence of the battlefield is compared to the waves of the sea

No one comes near
Spartacus is so intimidating that no one dares to approach him in battle

Suddenly the soldiers realize
The focus shifts back to the soldiers on the battlefield

They need more men to survive this fight
The soldiers realize that they are outnumbered and need additional reinforcements to win the battle

All confused you see them dash away
The soldiers panic and flee in confusion, hoping to regroup and try again later

losing now but they come back some day
Despite their current setback, the soldiers are determined to return and continue fighting

Spartacus knows, though he has won
Despite his victory, Spartacus knows that there is still a long and difficult road ahead

Too many men of his army are gone
The losses suffered by Spartacus and his followers are significant and painful

For him and his friends there is no chance
Despite their bravery and determination, Spartacus and his followers face impossible odds and little hope

To fight again for their liberty
Their dream of freedom and a better future is slipping away

Never be free
The harsh reality of their enslavement and oppression becomes evident

Thousand faces without hope and home
The song shifts to a broader perspective of the injustice and suffering faced by the many slaves in ancient Rome

Kind of death will be the choice of Rome
The cruelty and brutality of Rome's policies towards slaves is highlighted, with death being the typical outcome

Crucifixion of a lion's food
Even animals are not spared the cruelty of the Roman regime, with lions being crucified as entertainment

Human victims of an age so cruel
The suffering and oppression faced by slaves is highlighted as a result of the cruelty of the times

Glory and wealth, Power of Rome
The power and wealth of Rome were built on the backs of the many slaves who suffered and died for their cause

Built on the shoulders of millions of slaves
The song draws attention to the fact that Rome's power and wealth came at the expense of the millions of slaves who were exploited and oppressed

Spartacus knows, though he was close
Despite his courage and determination, Spartacus knows that his fight was ultimately in vain

Their chance is gone
The dream of freedom and liberation is no longer possible

It was all in vain
The suffering, the bloodshed, and the sacrifice were ultimately for nothing

There'll be more blood and pain
The cycle of violence and oppression will continue, with more suffering, bloodshed, and pain to come
