Siege Perilous - Across the Rubicon Lyrics

Dark are the days that have come to this
8 Years of my life in the viper's pit
O Rome that fed us all to Dis
Caesar says they call us criminal
Those Patricians reprehensible
Now we must do the unthinkable
Bound on with sharpened steel
For Caesar never yield
The Eagle we swear on
To do what must be done
And so the die is cast
Time for withdrawal has passed
All apprehension gone
Across the Rubicon
Our duty calls us sail to Greece
Only Victory will bring us peace
Before the thirteenth they fall to their knees
The defeated Pompey ran and fled
To the land of Egypt, of the dead
In a basket a Consul's head
Bound on with sharpened steel
For Caesar never yield
The Eagle we swear on
To do what must be done
And so the die is cast
Time for withdrawal has passed
All apprehension gone
Across the Rubicon
Daggers, made for the night
Were brought, into the daylight
And there, our General died
When he did not, beware March's Ides!
Bound on with sharpened steel
For Caesar never yield
The Eagle we swear on
To do what must be done
And so the die is cast
Time for withdrawal has passed
All apprehension gone
Across the Rubicon
Iacta alea est
Austerus prex
Veni vidi vici
Sumus populi
Nunc tempus adest
Caesar vindicatus est
Carnifex es, Brute
Ex Rubicone
Across the Rubicon
