"He swore an oath that should he die,
He'd raise his sword unto the sky,
up and swallow death alive,
upon his lips was ne'er a lie -
ANTHRARCHOS IS HIS NAME!
With Mankind's mighty triumph shout
He gave the enemy an eternal rout
He gave us truth all about
and took away all our doubt -
ANTHRARCHOS IS HIS NAME!"

Behind the Scenes[]
Anthrarchos Hypervincijovus Epiphanes is primarily inspired by the historical personage Antiochus IV Epiphanes, the Hellenistic Greek King of the Seleucid Empire that invaded and despoiled Jerusalem, leading directly to the Maccabaen War and the establishment of the Hasmonean Dynasty that would rule until the conquest of Rome and the final destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD (2226 BSC).
