5th of 10 free downloads. An epic that tells the story of a warlord who leaves behind his kingdom to conquer the Romans. One of my greatest lyrical & storytelling works, though most will already be entranced by the evolving beat.

In 2003, progressive rapper/producer Attila generated a tremendous buzz among the Nashville underground with the release of his solo album Konquest. Rap critics were impressed with his complex rhyme schemes & provocative lyrics, while fans were attracted to his high speed delivery and sudden beat changes. Many listeners were won over by his unique form of "world domination rap", which focuses on war, pride, and gaining power at all costs. With "Konquest" showcasing his tremendous potential, many fans were left eagerly awaiting the next chapter in Attila's dramatic epic. Three years have passed and he has finally released his follow up album, Nightfall. This time around, Attila pushes the envelope even further with intricate arrangements, insanely complex rhyme schemes, and even more progressive song topics. The lyrics explore the topics of war, money, and power; focusing on the rise to power and its many downfalls & consequences. Most of the songs are written as stories, with the storytelling effortlessly jumping from reality-based life lessons to tales of angels & other religious entities. Songs like "Destiny" and "Greed" depict a warlord's dreams of power, while "Glory" chronicles his attempted conquest of the Romans. And the gothic epics "Fire at the End of the Tunnel" and "Fall from Grace" have quickly become fan favorites, as their intricate arrangements constantly evolve to match the evolving story lines. Because of its progressive concepts & top-notch production, Nightfall is sure to leave Attila's fans begging for more.

Story behind the song
I needed a masterpiece to end tha album and serve as a counterweight to "Destiny". Plus, i needed a track that could serve as a single, a show-ender, and a "fan-maker" in case i only had a 15 minute set (for shows). And this was it. I love everything about this song. It and "Destiny" are the 2 i'm sending to college radio & promoting, b/c they're the two that best display what i'm all about as a man, artist, and a producer. Rappers & producers will appreciate this track even more than casual listeners, cuz they'll understand just how hard it was to do something like this. And remember, i never use samples- everything you hear i composed myself.
Lyrics
Glory intro There comes a moment when a prince must choose between his own desires and those of the people. If he has enough strength, he'll become his own master chant The quest for endless glory obsessed with making money determined to have tha power and fame that i've been hunting Chorus I want the glory let the people sing my praises tell my stories as you marvel at my greatness in time, you'll learn to worship me and die for my dreams now everybody on your knees as you bow to your king V1 Let my enemies tremble as they gaze upon my latest quest for glory I begin tha story sendin my servants to fetch my armor for me ceremonies filled tha night but this morning shall be historic cuz we'll march to war, ignoring tha prophets and their fatal warnings as i make my way to the exit the peasants marvel at my presence and the senators kneel in silence, suppressing their foolish questions i gaze upon my endless statues knowin that i might regret this but enough! glory calls!! i look at my people and i address them "Citizens! for too long these fools have escaped my oppression an now tha Romans have offered peace?!, so of course i must reject it soldiers! secure your weapons, steady your nerves and remember your lessons and be ready to attack at the first sign of my aggression" the women cry their tears, fearing that i won't return still in shock, the elders beg me for caution but i'm not concerned i'm just beginning to reach my prime, i'm still a diamond in the rough and inside i know my kingdom alone just ain't enough Chorus V2 3 weeks later our armies meet on the sands by tha beach i confront their leaders, trade insults then head back to my fleet tha battle starts but i discard it as i rest by the trees we're takin losses from a brutal charge led by their king i see my soldiers taking a beating yet i'm eating delicacies i could help but naaah... i'll wait til their time of greatest need and just when things are lookin their worst and they're pushin us back to tha sea i charge into battle, snatching victory from the jaws of near defeat their soldiers panic the second they see my face as i slice through their comrades, freeing my rage with tha flick of my wrist i'm releasing a wave of flames and in an instant their leaders are slain my soldiers chant my name as i swing my blades and quickly deplete their ranks no time to scream in pain, as i seize the day i see their king escape the others that flee in shame will be cut down from behind as they try to retreat and tha few enemies that survive then are forced to kneel at the feet of the beast that is me and if ya'll are thinking i'm satisfied, then ya'll just don't get it cuz no, this victory means nothing remember, i'm only in it for the (glory) Chorus bridge/chant V3 As we plunder their kingdom, i sense their leader tryin to escape to freedom if i can... there!! down by the shore, i see him retreating an yeah, i could kill him now but there'd be nobody to see it so I caught up wit him then politely asked him why he was leaving i killed his guards then grabbed that coward as he was begging and pleading then i dragged him back kicking and screaming in front of his people and there i challenged him to a duel, the winner would rule the republic tha natives begged him to fight me an stop the death and destruction he pleaded for peace til i roared and slapped the fool in disgrace he swung and missed then i broke his ribs before he could reach for his blades as he fell to his knees i landed a roundhouse that shattered his face an like that, the battle was over and i'd conquered his race disappointed, i finished him off, severed his head and snatched his crown in horror, his followers bowed as i sat on his throne and addressed the crowd "I stand before you as the undisputed master of my kind but i won't rest until i'm known as the greatest of all time" Chorus cha
