Lyrics: Ruthless man who shows no mercy
Or fearless leader of Roman Pride
Someone who's not afraid of anything
Is hiding something deep inside
You tear the land with fire and sword
And you slam the gates wide open
Take everything you can get
To find a place to store your hope in

All hail Caesar, they build him statues of gold
All hail Caesar, a good Roman does what they're told
All hail Caesar, and open up inside
All that you're concealing is keeping you alive

Now you come back home
With your robes of Jupiter
And your red face paint
With your eagle-topped ivory sceptor
Now all Rome, they know your name
And they hold up signs
And they sing your praises of glory
Gaius Julius Caesar is deified in Roman History

They surrounded you in the forum
Twenty-three times they drove in their daggers
You were trying to stand your ground
But you could hardly stagger
They burned your body in the Forum pyre
Jewelry and costumes burned in the fire
And for the next in line it won't be any easier
Woe unto he who is Caesar
Yeah....ah.....ah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Caesar, yeah....ah....ah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Caesar, er......er.....whoah......oh...
