Lyrics Along the Appian Way - Ex Deo

Along the Appian Way

Forced to enslavement, traces of Thracian blood
Sentenced to the land of Capua… named Gladiator
Bounded by chains, a hero of slaves to rise and army bigger than dismay
The thirst of freedom, greater than the will of death, greater than the oath of
mankind
Spartacus to defy the Roman way of life
Thousands of men ready to die, soldiers of Rome ready to strike… Spartacus!
«Pompey Magnus, Crassus… gather the men, I need you to crush this rebellion,
one by one
And when you do, you shall crucify them along the Appian way and show the world
none shall defy Rome!»
Legions engage…
Broken and defeated (the Spartacus army)… retreat to southern Italy
Gather reinforcements, Crassus in pursuit
He will not stop to lead his rebellion
Until the day he dies for his freedom
The thirst of freedom, greater than the will of death, greater than the oath of
mankind
Spartacus to defy the Roman way of life
Thousands of men ready to die, soldiers of Rome ready to strike… Spartacus!
«Come on Men, I don’t have all night, there’s still 4,000 to be crucified» —
