Hannibal — Oath Left Undone

[Intro Instrumental build-up 30 seconds, tribal drums, epic electric guitar] [Choir male slow] Hannibal... Hannibal... Hannibal... Hannibal... Hannibal... Hannibal... [Choir female zagrhrouta,Ululation] [Verse 1] From Carthage sun, a hero born, To see the might of Rome be torn. He swore the gods an oath profound, To bring their empire to the ground. [Chorus] [Solo] Oh, Great Hannibal! [Choir response] HANNI! HANNIBAL! [Solo] Oh, Great Hannibal! [Solo] Your oath was sworn by sacred blood! [instrumental break 15 second] [Verse 2] A mighty Warlord, bold and dire, He led his host through snow and fire. The cold stone giants watched in awe, He broke the ice and nature's law. [Chorus] [Solo] Oh, Great Hannibal! [Choir response] HANNI! HANNIBAL! [Solo] Oh, Great Hannibal! [Solo] The Alps themselves bowed to your will! [Verse 3] Your mighty genius shaped a battlefield, The larger Roman armies reeled. Vast tens of thousands you had slain, The widows' tears fell down like rain. [Chorus] [Solo] Oh, Great Hannibal! [Choir response] HANNI! HANNIBAL! [Solo] Oh, Great Hannibal! [Solo] Great Rome itself wept at your feet! [Bridge Dramatic instrumental section] [ North African folk , tribal drums, clapping] [Choir female zagrhrouta,Ululation] [Verse 4, male vocal, duduk, hand claps] But fates turned against you from the skies, While home denied you fresh supplies. You could not make the city fall, And could not breach its final wall. [Chorus] [Solo] Oh, Great Hannibal! [Choir response] HANNI! HANNIBAL! [Solo] Oh, Great Hannibal! [Solo] Your sacred vow was left undone. [Outro,Music fades out with war drums] [Choir slowly ,fades] Hannibal... Hannibal... Hannibal... Hannibal... Hannibal... Hannibal...
