Lyrics
Imperial Rome
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.
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
