Bestial and great
An empire was built
Upon the bones
Of a city of hills
From Rome's beginnings
We were never tamed
Forged in steel
Raised by a she-wolf
The founders built the state
Etruscans and others
Fell before the throne
Excellence was to be our legacy
The Romans allowed no failure
And the Republic rose
Uniting the people
From the tribe of Aeneid
Battle was in our nature
After millennia
We were ready to resume our ascendancy
Carthage, Gaul, the Levant
We were unmatched
Until the fall
And our deeds entered distant memory
