Hymn of the Roman Empire

[Verse 1] The eagle soars Its wings outspread Over marble roads where the legions tread Columns rise Carved from stone The gods watch from their gilded throne [Chorus] Hail the Empire Strong and wide Hail the rivers The hills The tide From the Tiber’s heart to the mountains' spine All roads lead to this land divine [Verse 2] Olive groves whisper Their roots run deep Echoes of triumph where shadows creep Steel and laurels A soldier's prize Under the crimson Roman skies [Prechorus] Glory calls A distant horn A kingdom of fire Of might reborn [Chorus] Hail the Empire Strong and wide Hail the rivers The hills The tide From the Tiber’s heart to the mountains' spine All roads lead to this land divine [Bridge] The Senate's halls Their voices ring Of war Of peace Of the crownless king Blood and gold A tale retold In the hands of fate The future’s hold
