"Off with Their Heads" is a song included on the seventh album Omen, released in 2010. It features a really fast riffing, bursting drums, shredding solos, and keyboards. The song deals about the war triggered by persecution between Christians and Romans, leaving the land littered with skulls, bones, and burnt remains of the city of Rome. The first sixteen lines and the final three lines of the lyrics begin with the song title, and only eight in between don't begin that.
The title of this song was inspired from the punk rock band Off with Their Heads.
Lyrics[]
Off with their heads all across the land
Off with their heads, ritual will prepare
Off with their heads, crossbones and skulls dead
Off with their heads, kill all them inbreds
Off with their heads, beware of what's ahead
Off with their heads, betray and now they're dead
Off with their heads just like the old ones had
Off with their heads, hate without end
Off with their heads in this no man's land
Off with their heads, their fate is now in hand
Off with their heads, to kill is their intent
Off with their heads, in blood this will end
Off with their heads, sacrifice 'til death
Off with their heads, now they learn to obey
Off with their heads in between life and death
Off with their heads, you're born with a price on your head
Skulls, bones, Rome burns
Doom falls, war comes
Die, lie, sick soul
Scream, sin in between
Skulls, bones, Rome burns
Doom falls, war comes
Die, lie, sick soul
Scream, sin in between
Off with their heads all across the land
Off with their heads, ritual will prepare
Off with their heads, crossbones and skulls dead
