Burial Grid 90s Boston metalcore, sea shanties, gothic rock, and drone music fused together with a cauterizing flame of Roman mythology. Love it. Favorite track: GIGANTOMACHY.

ARGONAUT 02:19
(Crew of the Argo): Hail to Jason, Hail to the Argo, Hail to Aeson, Hail to Medea (Glory Onward!) (x4) Row! Row! Row! Row! (x4) (Jason/Crew): Never have Gods seen such heroes as these On our quest to recover the Golden Fleece; Many men have fallen by both our spears and our swords (our swords) The Elysian Fields are what we will see, Our glory repaid for the blood that we bleed; We drink and we sing of our heroic deeds To mighty Zeus, and the Gods of Olympus: WE HAIL! (Hail!, Hail!, Hail!, Hail!) To Athena whose foes No longer draw breath; To Hermes who crosses The borders of death; WE HAIL! (Hail!, Hail!, Hail!, Hail!) To Poseidon who carries the mighty Thessalyan winds, (Crew of the Argo): Which bear me home! Onward home! Fortune favors the bold; and we are those bold! We’ve seen, our foes burnt to dust Yet we sail, for Iolcus; To These Brothers bound of Blood: Raise your cups! We're free from Hades (So) Dig deep and let the bodies of our foes go DOWN

ILIUM BURNS 05:46
(The Achaeans): BURN!, their sleeping empire to the ground Striking under cloak of night, Slaying without fail; Trojan blood quenches our blades, In glory, we shall prevail; Achilles! Can you taste their fear? Accept this sacrifice; Spare no man, woman, or child; Glory for the blessed isles! All shall die! Storm the temple of Athena, Seize the cursed prophetess; Bring forth Hector’s quivering whelp; Cast him down below End their line (Hecuba): The Gods have cursed All of us Our city burns (Achaeans): The spilled seed of Zeus Hath wrought the spawn of Nemesis Tonight, Ilium BURNS

(Sirens): Reach me, Through voids of time and sea; Free will, At mercy of gravity; Distant longing for you; Release, Calm the storm with your sweet song; Sweep me, Into treacherous depths

(Achaeans): Murder! Is! Glory’s! Flame! (Aeneas): My city is burning, Flame reflects off of sword and shield; My King’s blood would not yield; Fight with me, my brothers; We are the ones with fire in our veins! Kill them all! (Achaeans): Grasp your blades! Inside their walls, We shall emerge! (Aeneas): This river of blood is Flowing down streets I once called home, We simply cannot win; Head for the hills, Don’t look back! They’ve taken away everything (Achaeans): Faces soaked with gore, A sleeping city dreams of death! Run! feeble prince of the Trojans; Murder! Is! Glory’s! Flame!

GIGANTOMACHY 05:35
(Gigantes): Heed my call Heed my call Today we pierce the heavens And wrench down our oppressors; I am Porphyrion, son of Uranus and Gaia; Tear the mountains asunder And build a stairway to Olympus; King of Mt. Etna; Eyes made of fire

Their cries arise from the depths of Tartarus
Cast down by those who dwell on that cursed peak
Tyrants rule the earth, the sea, and the sky
Gaia lies raped, her children pulled back into her womb
