Lyrics Manilla Road

Manilla Road

Rome

Rome - Italia's shining light

Rome - Empire of power and might

Rome - From Egypt to northern Gaul

Rome - Conquerors of all they saw

The Fires of Mars have burned

Temples raised to Jupiter

The Ides of March have turned

The course of history

Rome - Feared and honored state

Rome - Product of Trojan fate

Rome - Hear the trumpets call

Rome - Glorious unto the fall

The Fires of Mars have burned

Temples raised to Jupiter

The Ides of March have turned

The course of history

Harken the tale of Aeneas - Last hero of Iliam

Mortal born son of Venus - Destined to Latium

Prophecy's promise of saving - The last Trojan line

Spoiler of ethnic cleansing - Who fathered the Roman

Empire

For all of time - Forget not the Trojan line

Imperious rise - The birth of Roman's fire

Unto the sky - We raise our swords this night

Until we die - We praise the gods on high

Through bardic rhymes

The ancient tales still survive

Inside my mind - The Eagles banners still fly

On Neptune's tide - Ghost ships sail through the night

Into the fight - For Jupiter the legions ride

Troy's holocaust - Vision Cassandra saw

Aeneas brought - Rebirth from what was lost

The legions fought - For Rome and ancient gods

The tale is taught - Know ye now more or not
