lyrics

Beware of the Ides of March
Caesar, tyrant king
Don’t laugh at the auspices
Envy, hate and avarice
Wielding cold metal
Cassius, Casca and Brutus
Names of shame
Caesar, tyrant King
Don’t laugh, the Ides haven’t finished

Caesar fooled is being led to the senate
His murderers escort him
Gazes of fear
Twenty-three dogs killing a wolf

Casca holds Caesar, the untouchable
What kind of violence is this?
Strikes the first stab
Help, brothers! Casca shouts
And the dogs came to the call

Dance of blood on the marble
The togas are twisted
Twenty knives going through the flesh
A body convulses

The remains lie
Under the gaze of the unperturbed
Pompey’s face
Marco Antonio collects them
And shows them to the people
The thirteenth legion
Lights the pyre of the tyrant king
The angry masses
gaze the spectacle

Shaky contract in blood
And his last breath
Covers the face with his cloak
Red tunics and red marble
Murderers of the Republic
Dance to the sound of impiety
Trampling the last values
Twenty knives going through the flesh
A body convulses, fighting for his life

In a bloody mouth
Last words arise
You too, Brutus?

So, Imperator Caesar rests
