son of rome

attention lads!

brave men taste death once!

cowards

a thousand times over

we've already spilled barbarian blood

and we know

they bleed as we do

ready!

on me.move!

legionnaire to the fourteenth

hold your breath if you

ever see his sword sheathed

not a single oracle could've foreseen

the only man born who could

make a minotaur bleed

hit the shore then he storms the beach

already setting up the future for normandy

he's got shell shocked troops

getting torn to pieces

but he can't die now cause he was born to lead them

every encounter ends in execution

bathing his conscience in red absolution

though we are many

we fight as one

beware the barbarian

they travel in packs

when they send cavalry

send a javelin back

we shall launch in their face

as the masses attack

they will call to retreat

as the catapults snap

and out of the ashes

a hero is rising

the final wish of his father will drive him

the blood-soaked blade of marius titas

ignite the hatred burning inside us

knowledge born from eden

foretold of our undoing

civilizations have risen to fall

seek vengeance for our fathers

heretics reborn as martyrs

all that they've bled for

will crumble and fall

now to cut to the chase

as the coward will run from his fate

take a look on the one he betrayed

as the balance of life puts trust in his blade

only the traitor will fall

vengeance will have it's day

justice will come to us all

damocles is his name

he will rise through the ranks

as a true son of rome

when he looks down on his ranks

they will do as they're told

though his armor is light

weighed down by his sorrow

a soldier today

but a legend tomorrow

empires wither away

as heroes will blossom

but after his final crusade

we will have lost them

rome is civilization

rome is order

rome is power!

and out here

we are rome!

seek vengeance for our fathers

heretics reborn as martyrs

all that they've bled for

will crumble and fall

he is honing his focus

taking in every moment

he will never surrender

the battle goes on until he is broken

that's a pure-blooded roman

throwing his life to the aid of his homeland

victory's on the horizon

and he knows it

empires wither away

as heroes will blossom

but after his final crusade

we will have lost them

i know not to believe your lies

a true son of rome will rise
