Imperial Rome lyrics

They were rulers in name of the greatest empire ever known on earth

Centurions and soldiers, patricians and killers of noble birth

They held sway over lands; the Sahara to northern Britannia

Barbaric Germania and what was then known as Hispania



The Julio-Claudian dynasty, the house of Severus

All heirs to the legacy of Caesar`s slaying led by Cassius

XXVIII legions here led by Augustus - Imperator

Yet power of conquest was tempered by rights of the senators



The glory of Rome - Ancestral home

Of those that put Christ in his place

The glory of Rome - Imperial throne

All yield to her holy embrace



The Praetorian Guard keep the Emperor`s law within the populace

The senate`s aware that their dictators last words were "Et tu Brutus?"

Watch lions of Rome feast on gladiator bones

this here be true sport of Kings!

See the Pontifex Maximus - gain absolution for all of your sins



The glory of Rome - Ancestral home

Of those that put Christ in his place

The glory of Rome - Imperial throne

All yield to her holy embrace



Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Nero, and hail Cladius

Avitus, Olybrius, Zeno, and Florian and Julius Caesar!

Imperial Rome

Five Hundred years
