For the Empire
Conquest and Sacrifice: Bloodgutter's 'For The Empire' Tale
Lyrics
For The Empire
Expressing allegiance or dedication to the empire.
From far away we came
Refers to a distant origin of the group.
To conquer this sick man
Intent to conquer a weakened or ill society.
An empire of the past
Describing a once-powerful empire now in the past.
Certain victory
Confidence in assured success.
For king and country
Acting for the monarch and the nation.
We set foot
Beginning a campaign on foreign lands.
On foreign shores
Commitment to pressing forward without withdrawing.
No retreat
Refusal to retreat despite adversity.
In the sand we were left
Left behind in a dire situation.
Corpses rotting in the sun
Description of fallen soldiers left unattended.
Eaten by flies
Graphic depiction of degradation post-death.
No graves for us
No proper burial or respect for the fallen.
In the furnace of hell
Metaphorical reference to extreme suffering.
We burn, no mercy
No compassion or leniency shown.
A landing, a stalemate
Stuck in a situation with no progress.
Sitting ducks
Vulnerable and exposed to danger.
Spill the blood for the empire
Sacrificing lives for the empire's objectives.
For the cause is higher
Highlighting the greater purpose or ideology.
