Once Were Romans

"First Cohort... In battle formation" - Roman general
Once were Romans - Once were men who died for honor - Once were women who made imperial blood
Once was glory you could only bleed - Once were gods who walked upon the earth - Once was truth...
once were Romans
Bind this world forever - Bind the truth forever
Barbarians at the gates of Rome - Seek to stop the impossible
Evolution of man, Civilization - Advancement into the evil
Consilio et animis - Fortes Fortuna iuavat
Veritas vos liberabit - Credite Posteri
Roma Victrix!
Consilio et animis - Fortes Fortuna iuavat
Veritas vos liberabit - Credite Posteri
Once were Romans
Once were men who died for honor - Once were women who made imperial blood - Once was glory you could
only bleed - Once were gods who walked upon the earth - Once was truth... once were Romans
Bind this world forever - Bind the truth forever
From the foundation of Romulus.... To the conquests of Caesar...
From Augustus' triumphs... To the mighty Scipio & victories of general Agrippa
Roma Caput Mundi!
