Empire
Pieces of the world were born in Rome
Seeping into memories like water in the loam
From the mind of Caesar, seed of the empire
Far from the senate and its opulent liars
A celestial prodigy from the roman ideals
An unspoken agreement from the rancor now appeals
Soaked with bronze
Rising king on falling pawns
The echoes of betrayal fill the air
Foreign walls are suffused with rage and despair
Winds of war are blowing on the conquered limes
A die is cast from the hands of Atargatis and Isis
Swords from Zela to Alesia
A wolf roars among spaleses and galeas
Marmoreal bane
Honored by slain
Nobility
The garden of hate
Heart of the people
And of their fate
Milestones and legions
Wet by five seas
Signs in the sky of a tormented peace
Carved into a man with words of fire
The empire
Bleeding human veins cut
By copper asses
Silence becomes violence
White robes dyed red
Piled into the memory's webs
In the curia expires the light of the plebs
Optimates fear the power
Who takes the heart of the people
Conquers Rome
The soul of Rome
Viscid corruption
Snakes down the arches
A wheel of power
Fueled by darkness
Milestones and legions
Wet by five seas
Signs in the sky of a tormented peace
Carved into a man with words of fire
The empire
Seeping into memories like water in the loam
From the mind of Caesar, seed of the empire
Far from the senate and its opulent liars
A celestial prodigy from the roman ideals
An unspoken agreement from the rancor now appeals
Soaked with bronze
Rising king on falling pawns
The echoes of betrayal fill the air
Foreign walls are suffused with rage and despair
Winds of war are blowing on the conquered limes
A die is cast from the hands of Atargatis and Isis
Swords from Zela to Alesia
A wolf roars among spaleses and galeas
Marmoreal bane
Honored by slain
Nobility
The garden of hate
Heart of the people
And of their fate
Milestones and legions
Wet by five seas
Signs in the sky of a tormented peace
Carved into a man with words of fire
The empire
Bleeding human veins cut
By copper asses
Silence becomes violence
White robes dyed red
Piled into the memory's webs
In the curia expires the light of the plebs
Optimates fear the power
Who takes the heart of the people
Conquers Rome
The soul of Rome
Viscid corruption
Snakes down the arches
A wheel of power
Fueled by darkness
Milestones and legions
Wet by five seas
Signs in the sky of a tormented peace
Carved into a man with words of fire
The empire
