Imperial Rome-Aska

They were rulers in name of the greatest empire ever known on earth Centurions and soldiers, patricians and killers of noble birth They held sway over lands; the Sahara to northern Britannia Barbaric Germania and what was then known as Hispania The Julio-Claudian dynasty, the house of Severus All heirs to the legacy of Caesar's slaying led by Cassius XXVIII legions here led by Augustus - Imperator Yet power of conquest was tempered by rights of the senators The glory of Rome - Ancestral home Of those that put Christ in his place The glory of Rome - Imperial throne All yield to her holy embrace The Praetorian Guard keep the Emperor's law within the populace The senate's aware that their dictators last words were "Et tu Brutus?" Watch lions of Rome feast on gladiator bones This here be true sport of Kings! See the Pontifex Maximus - gain absolution for all of your sins The glory of Rome - Ancestral home Of those that put Christ in his place The glory of Rome - Imperial throne All yield to her holy embrace Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Nero, and hail Cladius Avitus, Olybrius, Zeno, and Florian and Julius Caesar!
