Lyrics

Expanding powers to the east
The sea is bordered with the color of blood
Rome has no worthy opponent
Until sails block out the setting sun

An un-winnable opponent
Yet reckless abandon
Against Europe's empire
Story told through millennia

Costly losses off the coast
Forces withdrawn, treaty is signed
What is written not carried out
Deceitfully gathering

Rome's eyes lie elsewhere
Forces quickly forming
Mercenaries, sailors alike
With the rise of Hannibal

Control pushes northwest
Course shifts to the mountains
To catch them off guard
Ambushed by war elephants

Footing regained
Swords sheathed, surrendered
History remembers
Rome's greatest enemy
