We (have) come to crush and desecrate, metal is the law !" "metal is the law Metal is war !" ([the emperor:] "my blood be thine force as my flesh serve thine will ! I who grant thee this life urge thee, grant me the kill ! This oath it is sealed by honour, magic and blood ! I swear not to fail but myself become god !!!")

([the emperor:] "what a splendid sight it is to see those legions march ! how hungry they are for the bloodshed !") [the oracle of a'ryth-ra:] "follow him, the one, the light where darkness falls... And sing the songs of battle where the slaughter calls ! Hail the sacred conqueror, sworn to bring demise... And when the fog of battle clears a new kingdom will rise !" [the army of a'ryth-ra:] "beneath the dragonsky, our banner's flying high ! Face us and you'll die !!!" "you shall die !!!" [the emperor:] "i am in command to soak the killing field with blood (i am the) high-king of my warriors, the dragonslayer-lord My armour shining steel, i wear the sceptre, sword and ring I am the saviour prophesized and i reign supreme !"
