Vengeance is Mine
Song info: this song is about Boudica (a.k.a. Voadicia) the Iceni queen who led a rebellion against Rome. The Conjured's original band name was in fact Voadicia. Its main riff is older than most of the material on even Goregala. It came about after I started listening to Pantera and dicked around on the guitar for a bit (there's another "Pantera riff" I can recall, but I don't think I'd ever work it into a song by The Conjured). The bass parts in the faster section were inspired by the main menu music of Persona 5 (a track called "Phantom" for those interested). The verses are structured to be from three points of view - the first is from Boudcia, the second from Andraste (a Celtic deity), and the third from an Iceni warrior.
Lyrics
The right of vengeance is mine Sent by Andraste divine Stand your ground with shield and sword Freedom is our hope forlorn Destroy them with bronze and fire Children of Iceni ire They won't lay claim to our home Fight the demon that is Rome Now they make their final stand We will drive them from our land Freedom our queen leads us all The vengeance of Boudica |
