Bronze and salt statues mingle their blood, sweat and tears for a last dance
Swarms of angels and butterflies drawn by the flames of the two burning cities,
Braved the order to “not look back”, now they drag their burned wings along the streets
The gates of hell are open wide to let the demons out and to welcome the new customers
Sulfurous smokes and perfumes of Capua linger in the hot evening air
Spartacus, the King of Slaves, is here to conquer and vanquish the city of delights…
