[Peaceful Verse 1] In the shadows of Rome's faded grandeur, Julius stood, His gaze cast far, from the Alps to Egypt's age-old sands. Through the Senate's murmurs, a vision grew — A Rome not just of marble, but of boundless lands. [Hopeful Pre-Chorus] From the cobblestones of the Via Appia, To the bustling markets where voices of the Republic rang loud, He walked a path paved with ambition’s fire, A comet blazing, unbound by the modest shroud. [Powerful Chorus (Choir)] Rise, Caesar, rise, through the storms and the plots, Your name etched in the annals where time cannot rot. Rise, Caesar, fall, by the hands you once held close, In the heart of Rome, where betrayal’s shadow rose. [Angry Verse 2] Gaul knew his might, as Vercingetorix fell knee to ground, Under siege and surrender at Alesia’s formidable walls. The Druids whispered of a wolf 'midst their fold, And the die was cast, as the Rubicon called. [Boastful Pre-Chorus] "Veni, Vidi, Vici," he declared, The echoes of his conquests thundering deep and far. Through Pharsalus, where Pompey’s dreams turned to despair, A Republic’s sun set to welcome the dictator's star. star. [Chorus (Choir)] March, Caesar, march, beneath triumphant arcs, Each step a story, in victory’s stark marks. Fall, Caesar, fall, to the Ides’ cruel jest, In the Senate’s embrace, where your ghost shall never rest. [Bridge] There, by the Nile, he cast fortunes with a queen, Cleopatra’s allure, a dance of power and seduction seen. Yet, not the serpent nor the desert's scorching breath, Could shield him from the seeds of his own death. [Verse 3] Brutus, with eyes of storm, the tempest at his side, In the theatre of Pompey, trust and steel did collide. "Et tu, Brute?" — the fall of Rome’s brightest star, As liberty’s veil draped the wounds from afar. [Outro (Choir)] Whisper, whisper, mighty Tiber, carry his tales to the sea, Of a laurelled head, where once a crown might be. Sing, sing, O winds, through the forums and the fields, Of Julius Caesar, whose fate the Rubicon sealed. [Coda] In the ruins of an empire, where echoes fill the air, Stand, listener, and ponder — on the power, the glory, the snare. For in the heart of Rome, beneath the sun’s weary gaze, Lies a tale of a ruler, whose legacy forever stays. "Et tu, Brutus?"... He wept... the fall of Rome’s brightest star, As liberty’s veil draped the wounds from afar. [Outro (Choir)] Whisper, whisper, mighty Tiber, carry his tales to the sea, Of a laurelled head, where once a crown might be. Sing, sing, O winds, through the forums and the fields, Of Julius Caesar, whose fate the Rubicon sealed. [Coda] In the ruins of an empire, where echoes fill the air, Stand, listener, and ponder — on the power, the glory, the snare. For in the heart of Rome, beneath the sun’s weary gaze, Lies a tale of a ruler, whose legacy forever stays. [Outro] In the ruins of an empire, where echoes fill the air, Stand, listener, and ponder — on the power, the glory, the snare. For in the heart of Rome, beneath the sun’s weary gaze, Lies a tale of a ruler, whose legacy forever stays. As the stars wheel silently over Palatine’s crest, Where the whispers of power lay a great man to rest, Through the corridors of time, his legacy cast, Julius Caesar, a shadow vast and vast. [Outro] a shadow vast and vast.
