"Once Were Romans" lyrics

"Justice knows every man's number. He's committed a terrible sacrilege, and he'll pay for it with his life! As will any man here who breaks the law. Brawlers and drunkards will be flogged. Thieves will be strangled! Deserters will be crucified!"

First Cohort, in battle formation

Once were Romans
Once were men who died for honor
Once were women who made imperial blood
Once was glory you could only bleed
Once were gods who walked upon the earth
Once was truth
Once were Romans

Bind this world forever, bind the truth forever

Barbarians, at the gates of Rome, seek to stop the impossible
Evolution of man, civilization, advancement into the civil

Consilio et animis, fortes fortuna iuavat
Veritas vos liberabit, credite posteri

Roma Victrix!

Consilio et animis, fortes fortuna iuavat
Veritas vos liberabit, credite posteri

Once were Romans
Once were men who died for honor
Once were women who made imperial blood
Once was glory you could only bleed
Once were gods who walked upon the earth
Once was truth
Once were Romans

Bind this world forever

From the foundation of Romulus
To the conquests of Caesar
From Augustus' triumphs
To the mighty Scipio and victories of General Agrippa

Roma Caput Mundi!
