Emperor of Rome

Given a chance what is greater
than to undertake the greatest denger?
Jump into the unkown, take some with you
convince yourself that what you do is true
not just for yourself, when you have others
to protect you from all the monsters...
Hide behind a branch , cover up with a leaf,
slumber during the massacre, healed by relief!
Emperor of Rome send your legions to the fight
whilst you are prepared for flight
in case golry dies in the flames of defeat
which wouldn't burn your watery feet
that leave a watery trail to wash away
all that has changed or went astray...

Get rich or die trying,
why not start by lying,
why not kill trying?
Do great by cheating
be breave by fearing
win by dying...
I'm losing the feeling
that anything has meaning...

Emperor of Rome! I call you out!
Come before your crowed of doubt!
Wear you still your golden image
or will you still try to allege
that you are the one chosen
from betwinxt the Gods arosen
who does all for the better
when all around is sour and bitter?

Emperor of Rome! Look upon the world you rule!
You are they and they are you, yet, you fool,
perasite of happiness, cheater and believer
if you'd gone to Hell and back you still couldn't see her!

Protected may you be,
and maybe you'll never see
the eyes of the one truely sunk
in the mud of the glory you have sprung...
But beware Emperor of Rome, for you know it to be true,
that you are him, and he is you!
