Tyrants of the Trident

[Around 261 BC, Emperor Aśoka Maurya of Magadha; ordered his warring legion to tear down the fortified walls of Kalinga. On that bloody eve of antiquity 100,000 people were killed, while 150,000 were taken hostage. This is the story of that utterly unscrupulous war.]

Forgotten ties of blood
Undaunted in the face of death
No brothers, backstabbers
Survival of the meanest!

Soaked in sin, slayer of kin
The overlord reign supreme
Armored in pride, Kalinga denied
Drowned in valor only to die!

"Honor won't save your life
Only swords can justify
The might of your graceful throne and the crown"

Noise of battle rent the air
Warriors uttered their lion-roars
Way of warfare, total madness
Brace for the monarch's rampage!

"Yield or bleed
You shan't have mercy
For the world is mine to reign and you shall bow to me"

Rampage of Ashoka

[Circa. 650-750: After Shashanka’s death, anarchy befallen the kingdom of Gaura. Numerous nameless warlords of scattered janapadas fought and divided the lands around Triveni. For whoever holds the trident shall rule over this lush land of rivers. This is the terrible tale of Matsyanyaya (মাৎস্যন্যায়)].

Chaos unbound
Bloodbath for the crown
Wroth feudal hounds
Prey on the battling ground

Tyrants enraged
From the weak they wrest
On the shores of Ganges
Surge anarchy in lethal grace

Arrogators aflamed in rancor 
Torn apart the walls of Gaur

Usurpers unbent for the throne
Vengeful rite of the warring hordes
Total onslaught for the prevalence 
Usher in the age of sufferance

Death shade off the sky
Ashes of war ignite furious strife

Hear the shriek of subjugation 
The terminal toll of division
Total onslaught for prevalence 
Usher in the age of sufferance.
