Текст песни
The Rubicon’s chill bites deep and raw
A river of fate, a republic’s flaw
My legions stir, their standards high—
The Senate’s scorn meets steel reply
Rome’s brittle chains, they fray and break
A world remade in freedom’s wake
Yet shadows whisper, “Turn, repent!”
But destiny’s blade won’t dull intent
A small step for the one man
But a giant leap for mankind!
The stars themselves shall chart this land—
I carve the future with my hand!
They paint me tyrant, thief, and knave
Yet who but Caesar dares to save?
The rot within their gilded halls
Will crack and fall when duty calls
Let Pompey’s pride and Cato’s spite
Collide like storms against the night
One stride, one breath, one spark, one cry—
To cross this stream is victory
A small step for a man
But a giant leap for mankind!
From Rubicon’s edge, the world expands—
The old gods kneel where my sword stands!
By Mars’ grim laugh, by Venus’ grace
I’ll bind this realm in one embrace
No law, no oath, no senate’s plea
Shall stall the tide of history!
A small step for a man
But a giant leap for mankind!
The dice are thrown, the flame is fanned—
ALEA IACTA EST! … Behold, Rome, unmanned
