Aska - Imperial Rome Lyrics
They were rulers in name of the greatest empire ever known on earthCenturions and soldiers, patricians and killers of noble birthThey held sway over lands; the Sahara to northern BritanniaBarbaric Germania and what was then known as HispaniaThe Julio-Claudian dynasty, the house of SeverusAll heirs to the legacy of Caesar's slaying led by CassiusXXVIII legions here led by Augustus - ImperatorYet power of conquest was tempered by rights of the senatorsThe glory of Rome - Ancestral homeOf those that put Christ in his placeThe glory of Rome - Imperial throneAll yield to her holy embraceThe Praetorian Guard keep the Emperor's law within the populaceThe senate's aware that their dictators last words were "Et tu Brutus?"Watch lions of Rome feast on gladiator bonesthis here be true sport of Kings!See the Pontifex Maximus - gain absolution for all of your sinsThe glory of Rome - Ancestral homeOf those that put Christ in his placeThe glory of Rome - Imperial throneAll yield to her holy embraceAugustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Nero, and hail CladiusAvitus, Olybrius, Zeno, and Florian and Julius Caesar!Imperial RomeFive Hundred years
