Lyrics
Ave General
A salutation to the General
Conqueror of Gaul
Recognizing the conquest of Gaul
Hero of the state
Acknowledging as a hero of the state
Dictator for life
Holding the title of dictator for life
A divine, you shall rise
Belief in a divine nature, anticipating a rise
They scheme for your demise
Conspiracies and plots against the subject
Beware the Ides of March
A warning about the ominous Ides of March
The harbinger of doom and death
Describing the Ides of March as a harbinger of doom and death
It has been decreed by the new senate
Decree by the new senate regarding the title of dictator
That the title of dictator is bestowed upon Gaivs Jvlivs Caesar
Confirmation of Caesar being declared dictator
Though I assure you that is one role I shall never adopt
Assertion of refusal to adopt the role of dictator
I am Caesar and only Caesar
Affirmation of being solely Caesar
Is for this crown alone that I conquered Gaul
Highlighting the conquest of Gaul for the crown
Caesar, beware the ides of March
A caution to Caesar about the Ides of March
The ides of March, beware
Reiteration of the warning about the Ides of March
Beware the Ides of March
Repeated warning about the ominous Ides of March
The day of blood and gloom
Referring to the day of blood and gloom
So let it be done
Expressing acceptance of the foretold events
His dreadful end has come
Announcement of the dreadful end
His body struck down
Describing the physical demise, being struck down
Betrayed by his own
Betrayal by those close
The mighty falls and dies
The powerful figure falls and dies
In his blood he lies
Death depicted with the image of lying in blood
Ista qvidem vis est
Latin phrase suggesting a forceful manifestation
Caesar mortvvs est
Latin phrase declaring Caesar's death
Under darkened skies
Setting the scene with darkened skies
Hear the Roman cries
Hearing the cries of the Roman people
His light shines through the afterlife
Symbolizing Caesar's enduring influence in the afterlife
His revenge is sworn
Swearing vengeance on behalf of Caesar
Traitors killed and torn
Traitors facing punishment, being killed and torn
For Rome! for You! Divus Jvlivs!
A rallying cry for Rome and Caesar, invoking divine connection
