Intro – Soft strings, distant thunder)
“The die is cast…”
The river runs red with the fate of men.
⸻
(Verse I)
The Senate speaks, the order’s clear,
Lay down your crown, come home in fear!
But Rome is ruled by hands of clay,
And Caesar will not obey!
The stars align, the storm awakes,
The oath of power no man forsakes!
A single step, the world divides,
As history decides!
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
Steel and honor, gods and fate,
No turning back — it’s far too late!
⸻
(Chorus)
Crossing the Rubicon!
The line that can’t be redrawn!
From soldier to king,
Let the battle-song ring!
Crossing the Rubicon!
When duty and fate are one!
The die is cast —
No way back from the past!
⸻
(Verse II)
Legions march, their torches gleam,
Upon the banks of shattered dreams!
Rome divided, hearts betrayed,
By steel, the path is laid!
Pompey flees, the die is thrown,
The Senate trembles on its throne!
The crown of power, stained with blood,
Will drown the world in flood!
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
Lightning strikes on history’s stage,
The birth of empire, end of age!
⸻
(Chorus)
Crossing the Rubicon!
The line that can’t be redrawn!
From soldier to king,
Let the battle-song ring!
Crossing the Rubicon!
When duty and fate are one!
The die is cast —
No way back from the past!
⸻
(Bridge – Spoken over low drums)
“He came, he saw, he conquered —
But first, he crossed the line.”
(Chanted Background)
Veni! Vidi! Vici!
Caesar, Caesar!
Veni! Vidi! Vici!
The world shall remember your name!
⸻
(Guitar Solo – Slow to furious crescendo)
⸻
(Final Chorus)
Crossing the Rubicon!
No mercy, no retreat, march on!
One man’s will, an empire born,
The crown, the blood, the storm!
Crossing the Rubicon!
From dusk until the dawn!
The die is cast —
And Rome will rise at last!
⸻
(Outro – Spoken)
“The Republic is dead.
Long live the Empire.”
