Friends Romans countrymen lend me
your ears I come in peace
Like any other citizen
I bear the sword in case
Emergency measures take place
and I'm forced to defend
Symbols of honor I hold true
wealth and power cannot cease
Royalty and empire hold back
the barbarian hordes
Understand our centurions
allow us to save face
Our privilege to own property
our rule cannot descend
Young men must not murder in vain
nor die without virtue
Killers of our enemies live
until they fall on swords
Cut their own throats with their daggers
murderers without shame
Understand our centurions
are not good citizens
Forget the fact they are human
soldiers live without blame
Of course they have no place as men
as Roman denizens
Greet them warmly before their deaths
good beautiful and true
