Obsidian Avalon - Spartacus III: The Last Stand

From the album "Dark Days of Rome", an album about the struggles and catastrophes that the Roman Republic and Empire endured. This is the final song, out of three, about Spartacus, his rebellion and his defeat at the hands of Marcus Crassus.

Track 4.

[Verse 1]
The sky was red, the earth was torn
A thousand dead, a dream still born
Steel in hand, but hope ran dry
Still we stood, prepared to die

[Pre-Chorus]
No gods to save, no kings to kneel
Only the truth that pain reveals

[Chorus]
This is the end, the final breath
A crown of blood, a throne of death
But in the dust, our names remain
Etched in fire, burned in pain

[Verse 2]
They came like wolves, a sea of spears
We faced them all, we knew no fear
One by one, my brothers fell
But not in chains, we chose our hell

[Pre-Chorus]
No surrender, no retreat
We found our freedom in defeat

[Chorus]
This is the end, the final breath
A crown of blood, a throne of death
But in the dust, our names remain
Etched in fire, burned in pain
Etched in fire, burned in pain

[Bridge]
I see the sun through crimson haze
My body broken, my spirit ablaze
They’ll never find me, never know
Which corpse bore the rebel’s soul

Hang us high, line the road
But you can’t kill what you can’t control
We are the fire, we are the flood
We are the ghosts in Roman blood

(Chorus)
This is the end, the final breath
Spartacus lies where heroes die
In every cry, in every flame
We rise again… we bear his name

He died a man…
But lived as a legend.



The music was made with Suno, but was edited and composed by me. The Picture was generated using Copilot. This is just made for my own enjoyment and maybe others can find some enjoyment in these songs as well :)
