    The Royal Arsenal Gatefold CD is now available in limited addition. Every CD cover is individually crafted, making every one of these blighters a lone star. Every CD comes with a booklet, which has been painstakingly woven together by Mr Lucas' hands, and printed onto a stylish, stained, parchment paper offering up lyrics to the tales told in all songs of The Arsenal. At $12.00 (postage included in that), it's a total boon. A steal. The materials alone, cost nearly that much per CD! Get them whilst they last!

lyrics

THESE ROMANS GOT ME TICKED, YOU KNOW
THEY BREAK ALL THEIR DEALS
LET’S CROSS THE RIVER WITH AN ARMY
RAISE HAVOC MURDER & STEAL!!

THWARTED BY THE EMPEROR
LET’S RUN FOR THE HILLS
BUT THEN WE’LL TURN ON THE PURSUERS
SURPRISE!! YOU’RE GONNA KILLED!!

THEIR LEADER SCURRIED AWAY!!
WHILE HIS BATTALION WAS SLAIN!!
THE MOUNTAINS NOW ARE BLOOD STAINED!!
NOW YOU’LL REMEMBER MY REIGN!!

(CHORUS…)
IN THE 3RD CENTURY CNIVA!
KNIFE KING OF THE GOTHICS! X 2

PHILIPPOPOLIS
100,000 DEAD
DECIUS IS PISSED NOW, SO HE
RIDES WITH HIS SON FOR MY HEAD!!

WE’RE SEVERELY OUTNUMBERED
BUT I GOT A PLAN
WE’LL USE THE SWAMP & SUCK THEM IN
WE’LL ‘ROUT THEM WHEN THEY HAVE NO LAND!!

DECIUS GOT AWAY ONCE!
BUT THEN SUCCUMBED TO THE BLOODLUST!
GOT TRAPPED BY ASSUREDNESS!
SO NOW HE ROTS IN THE MUCK!

(CHORUS…) X 2

ROMANS SHOULD RUN WHEN THEY SEE CNIVA COMING!!
HE’LL CATCH YOU, HE’LL CUT YOU, HE’LL GET YOUR BLOOD RUNNING OUT!
