Rome – Italia’s shining light

Rome – Empire of power and might

Rome – From Egypt to northern Gaul

Rome – Conquerors of all they saw

[chorus]

The fire of Mars have burned

Temples raised to Jupiter

The Ides of March have turned

The course of history

Rome – Feared and honored state

Rome – Product of Trojan fate

Rome – Hear the trumpets call

Rome – Glorious unto the fall

[chorus]

The fire of Mars have burned

Temples raised to Jupiter

The Ides of March have turned

The course of history

Harken the tale of Aeneas – Last hero of Iliam

Mortal born son of Venus – Destined to Latium

Prophecy’s promise of saving – The last of the Trojan line

Spoiler of ethnic cleansing – Who fathered the Roman Empire

For all of time – Forget not the Trojan line

Imperious rise – The birth of Roman fire

Unto the sky – We raise our swords this night

Until we die – We praise the gods on high

Through bardic rhymes – The ancient tales still survive

Inside my mind – The eagles banners still fly

On Neptun’s tide – Ghost ships sail on through the night

Unto the fight – For Jupiter the legions ride

Troy’s holocaust – Vision Cassandra saw

Aeneas brought – Rebirth from what was lost

The legions fought – For Rome and ancient gods

The tale is taught – Know ye now more or not
