Rex Talionis

Blood and wine so easily poured
From golden throne to marble floor
And laurelled heads that turn and stare
With swords of silver and golden hair
Rex Talionis, Rex Talionis
Rex Talionis, Rex Talionis
And eagles stand at history’s gates
Symbols of nature’s beauty and crimes of states
With wings that thunder in the night
With talons sharp and eyes of light
Rex Talionis, Rex Talionis
Rex Talionis, Rex Talionis
Rex Talionis, Rex Talionis
Rex Talionis, Rex Talionis
