Bucephalus Songtext
von The Animal State

A sword of light severs the darkness in the east
Cuts the throat of night where the earth and heavens meet
The blood of dawn pours bright upon the trembling shields
Rise, you dogs of war, a hundred thousand man and beast


You detonated
Once more into the breach
Chest inflated
Lips curled back from the teeth
What flesh more naked
Eyes rolling back in fear
When blades and arrows seek your death
Subjugated
What horrors have you seen
In bloodshed mated
What sorrows and defeats
So it has been immemorial

Bucephalus, you were a martyr to your breed
A legend sung from Macedon to Hydaspes
An ageless song, you dead two thousand years and more
Though your frame be gone, yet your name it is immortal


You detonated
Once more into the breach
Chest inflated
Lips curled back from the teeth
What flesh more naked
Eyes rolling back in fear
When blades and arrows seek your death
Subjugated
What horrors have you seen
In bloodshed mated
What sorrows and defeats
So it has been immemorial
