Behold The Colline Gate.
The sinister and foreboding shadow of The Colline Gate remains cast upon the terrifying truth that lurks beneath. Our foray into a more electronic sound comes by way of Ancient Rome’s debauched past times and the Vestal Virgins who met their untimely end beneath this mysterious landmark.
The Vestals of Rome embodied both purity and sanctity, tending to the flame of Vesta as untouchable priestesses. Vestals found to break Rome’s strict rules were subject to a live burial beneath The Colline Gate.
Behold our tribute.

Vindictive patriarchy commits disturbing pastime
Virgins lowered to their untimely end
Forced to finish before it began
I can only imagine such an unglamorous way to die
But I heard you went right down
With your veiled head held high
It’s too late
Dig up the Colline gate
From the tiber to the temple
You can always find a way
There’s a shimmer of some hope
A miracle through pray
The virgins born
The virgin weeps
The virgin dies
With man’s nail through her feet
And no audience to see
Decline deaths hand, shrink from his sinful glove. This being needs not interact with the embodiment of foul disgust upon the the bleak end. With grace I shall go unto his unjust arms I surrender with everlonging faith and grace. I shall perish with finesse and decorum, with my head held high draped in white.
