The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Caligula:
"i have existed from the morning of the world,
And shall exist until the last star falls from the night.
Although i have taken the form of caius caligula,
I am all men, as i am no man. and therefore i am ... a god.
I shall wait for the unanimous decision of the senate, claudius."
Claudius: "all those who say aye, say aye."
Caligula: "aye ... aye!"
Senators: "aye! aye! aye! ..."
Guard: "he's a god now ..."
The end is near
Panic is closing in
Sick with fear they run
Watch freedom's fall
What have we become?
Cannon fodder
Reign of terror
Enslave the nations - devastation
This is war - pull the trigger
One nation under their control
Rise - the tyrants rise!
The enemy inside - the tyrants rise
The end is here
Feel it closing in
Blood runs red
Watch in horror
Our lives destroyed
We failed
The final holocaust
Enslave the nations
Annihilation!
This is war -
Pull the trigger
One nation out of control
Rise - the tyrants rise!
The enemy inside - the tyrants rise
War, pain, suffering
The price we pay to stay alive
Blood, fire, death
His glory come, his kingdom rise
The world will burn!
Rise - the tyrants rise!
The enemy inside - the tyrants rise
