Every figure in this battle has references to their deaths included. Alexander died suddenly despite never losing a battle. It's generally believed that he died of an illness, but some people suspect he was poisoned, and obviously this was set up with "Go fix me a drink" and "a drink to your victory". Frederick the Great died in his sleep in an armchair at the age of 74, which is referenced with "bring me my chair," and "take a seat." Pompey the Great was beheaded after his assassination, as proof of his demise. There was a pernicious rumor that Catherine the Great died from trying to have sex with a horse, hence "enjoy the saddle." And of course, Ivan the Terrible died of a stroke in the middle of a game of chess, referenced by Alexander and then finalized with "Checkmate."

@MimiYuYu

one of the reasons his verse is great is because it doesn't outstay its welcome. It is exactly as long as it should be, extending it to 4 minutes would take out that juxtaposed punch that it has compared the pace of the rest of the song, and make it far less interesting to listen to.

nah old fritz had the best intro.

Having studied a bit of Roman history makes me really wish Pompey would actually get his own battle now. I feel like there is so much opportunity with his life. I can even imagine a play on Caesar line, instead having it be “ the thrice triumphant third or the triumvirate” for his celebrations of three separate triumphs making him, like Alexander before him, a conqueror on three continents. Not only that but the massive gold he brought in, how he would claim to be the person who ended the Spartacus revolt, or even how he claimed to have stood up to Sulla (the Roman dictator who gave that word the negative connotation we have of it today). It would be awesome to see him in his own battle someday

Nah

Everyone's sleeping on Alexander's verse!! Especially the second half. "Hey fella, swell diss, but now you got the Panhellenist from Pella hella pissed" as the start just feels so good to say, it feels almost like cheating when Zach is writing for you lol definitely worth comparing to "look alive, Creme de la Kremlins arriving" And then keeping the rhyme scheme of "the glory i got" for the whole rest of his verse (12 times total from my count) while adding many multilayered half-schemes in there as well?? Zach has just been flexing on us this whole time. "like the eagle whose feather i would sport in the helmet that i wore as i swatted-" just the delay of the "-ot" rhyme for another beat for musicality's sake just drops there almost without you noticing it. And then "I win Ivan, I vanquish, I'm an immortal you're not" is so fun and deceptively hard to pronounce right and catch the subtle differemces in pronunciation, and time to the beat while sounding like you're actually speaking and portraying a real 30 year old seasoned king and conqueror historical information drops aside it's so technically impeccably written to the point it goes by you immediately. I keep coming back for more with this one tbh. Well done Zach

I completely agree. Alexander was also just getting started. If Ivan hadn’t, you know, been terrible, we’d still be listening to Alexander spit.

I find it quite funny how Katharina the great says she russian even though by all accords she is German born and raised in Germany as a Daughter of an German noble house

The real winners are: Alexander's cup, Fredrick's flute, Pompey, the rubles on the garrot wire, and the horse.

Lovin Frederick the great

"Empress to Tsar 8. Checkmate." Is such a great line because not only its refereing to Cathering being an Empress and a Tsar, something far greater than a Queen as she said, but in chess notation, that would mean "my Empress captures/kills your Tsar and you loose". So she's also saying how she slayed him in this battle.

I'm glad we all agree Frederick's intro/verse is one of the best in all of erb

Last week, I was writing an exam I seriously underestimated, a ton of stuff to learn there, and one of the questions was "What places did Alexander the Great conquer?" and I'm there like uuuh... Egypt... And then, my mind starts singing this internally because hey, Alexander the Great was mentioned, and then I'm like "Wait... He sings it in one part, right?!" and few seconds later, I'm writing it all in.:-D So, big thanks to ERB🙏:-D
