What Happens To Golden Palaces
Moritori salutamus
Shouts the slave in Caesar's name
But he is answered back in silence
He knows the lion has been tamed
He knows the camp will be unburied
Where he fell by Caesar's will
And Caesar's form the grave will carry
The earth he'll someday fill
So the slave will raise his sword
Against this finite foe
While all around him Caesars glory
By Roman hand has been laid low
