The wafting scent of blood brazes the nerves

Fire blazes in the night

The Byzantines count their blessings
The Venetians count their prize.
The memory of the Latin massacre is alight
Alexios the Fourth, you better show your worth

What savagery
Crusaders heed
Abomination! Doukas killed his kin!
Reneged our deal, Levant can wait!
Levant can wait!

Sack it all! Sack it all!

Constantinople, hear me roar
Sack it all! Sack it all!
Orthodoxy begone!

No time to brood
Ive got things to loot
And the armies march on
The Byzantines were going to Hell anyway!

In 1204 we dissent
By laying a 5 day siege
Passing Galata to Blachernae
Vengeances my litany

Saint Mark heralds his augury

The Adriatic is my spouse to be
A rich mans lifes enough for me
Im free!

Sack it all! Sack it all!

Doge Dandolo you have the word
Sack it all! Sack it all!
Hagia Sophia, too!
Watch me loom
I foretold their doom!
Like a thread pulled taut!

Two centuries from now the Turks will join the fray
Beauty and opulence, Venice will bask in all acclaim
Genoa cringes to my imminent success
Im never going back, the past is in the past!

Sack it all! Sack it all!

Soon I will institute my law!
Sack it all! Sack it all!
Buh-bye excomuno
No time to brood
Ive got things to loot
And the armies march on
The Byzantines were going to Hell anyway!
