The Eternal City
Hail to the she-wolf, the legend is born
First of the seven kings that will sit on the throne
Lust for power, twin fratricide
From innocent blood a new kingdom will rise
S.P.Q.R. - Rome leaves its mark
The sign of the eagle will lead our legion
Marching to war from the east to the west
Gods on our side, swords in our hands
The glory of the empire will not see the end
The sign of the eagle will lead our legion
Marching to war from the east to the west
Set all on fire, we're taking command
Then on the ashes the reign will expand
An age of splendour, culture and art
Games in the arena, the screams of the crowd
Gladiators will perish, the thumb's going down
Plundered and burnt, cursed and divine
The eternal city forever will shine
S.P.Q.R. - Rome leaves its mark
The sign of the eagle will lead our legion
Marching to war from the east to the west
Gods on our side, swords in our hands
The glory of the empire will not see the end
The sign of the eagle will lead our legion
Marching to war from the east to the west
Set all on fire, we're taking command
Then on the ashes the reign will expand
The sign of the eagle will lead our legion
Marching to war from the east to the west
Gods on our side, swords in our hands
The glory of the empire will not see the end
Hordes of Barbarians, from north they descend
Pagan invaders of this sacred land
Gods on their side, swords in their hands
The glory of the empire has come to an end
Has come to an end
First of the seven kings that will sit on the throne
Lust for power, twin fratricide
From innocent blood a new kingdom will rise
S.P.Q.R. - Rome leaves its mark
The sign of the eagle will lead our legion
Marching to war from the east to the west
Gods on our side, swords in our hands
The glory of the empire will not see the end
The sign of the eagle will lead our legion
Marching to war from the east to the west
Set all on fire, we're taking command
Then on the ashes the reign will expand
An age of splendour, culture and art
Games in the arena, the screams of the crowd
Gladiators will perish, the thumb's going down
Plundered and burnt, cursed and divine
The eternal city forever will shine
S.P.Q.R. - Rome leaves its mark
The sign of the eagle will lead our legion
Marching to war from the east to the west
Gods on our side, swords in our hands
The glory of the empire will not see the end
The sign of the eagle will lead our legion
Marching to war from the east to the west
Set all on fire, we're taking command
Then on the ashes the reign will expand
The sign of the eagle will lead our legion
Marching to war from the east to the west
Gods on our side, swords in our hands
The glory of the empire will not see the end
Hordes of Barbarians, from north they descend
Pagan invaders of this sacred land
Gods on their side, swords in their hands
The glory of the empire has come to an end
Has come to an end
