The First Empore

Legions once roamed through Gallic land
They came with bloody steel in bitter hand
For glory n gold they fought for the one
General of Rome, the Julian son.

Veni vidi vici
A million lives have passed away.

In triumph he came back crowned by laurel
In hands the scepter with the golden eagle
Like Jupiter the King with red painted face
A slave held the oak leaf crown reminded him of his place.

Memento Mori
Be aware of your mortality.

See what you´ve become, a dictator
Hail Caesar, Hail
See what you´ve become, first emperor
Hail Caesar, Hail.

In his hybris he craved for the Throne
Mocked the Republic and waged war against Rome
The thirteenth legion stood five thousand men strong
They followed him to cross the Rubicon.

Alea iacta Est
To conquer the eagles nest.

See what you´ve become, a dictator
Hail Caesar, Hail
See what you´ve become, first emperor
Hail Caesar, Hail.

On the ides of March they waited for him
On the senate steps there was no salvation
All warnings were in vain blades flashed all around
Brutus brought it to an end with cold steel and hot blood.

Cave Idus Martias
The just end of a Tyrant.

See what you´ve become, a dictator
Hail Caesar, Hail
See what you´ve become, first emperor
Hail Caesar, Hail.

“After Caesar's death, his murderers were hunted down and killed. However, a war for power broke out in Rome between his General Marcus Antonius and his adoptive son Octavius. The victor crowned himself emperor and the dream of the republic was buried.”
