"Lex talionis" în versuri
The dawn of an iron age
Return to Pagan law
Lex Talionis
We rule by fang and claw
Mala Praxis - Lex Talionis (An Eye for An Eye)
[Chorus]
Lex Talionis whenever the police beat us with their clubs*
An eye for an eye, for their rubber bullets
A moment when reason
Has gone astray
Suspended by threads
That begin to fray
Hispania has fallen, Rome at my grasp
My patience is vast, resolve absolute
Lex Talionis!
Hate for hate and ruth for ruth
Eye for eye and tooth for tooth
Scorn for scorn and smite for smite
Love for love and guile for guile
Rising above the searching of love visions
I felt this darkness resist
Nailing a thousand nazarenes
Screaming through your thousand faces
