Face the greed of a decaying civilization

Get them back to sea and show your pride of warrior

Our destiny is rule and domination

Come, shores of Italy, be mine!

The core of the Roman Empire

is nothing but cradle for war

Byzantium is spreading with fire

But iron is what we hold

A barbarian should be hunted like a beast

Strong and tall and full of lust and low cunning

Enemy commander Totila will die

Come, shores of Italy, be mine!

The core of the Roman Empire

is nothing but taxes and gold

Barbarians will set it on fire

Byzantium will rule them all

S’affaccian le genti romane

Dal foro cadente che fu

Sorgente di glorie lontane

D’un tempo che ormai non è più

The core of the Roman Empire

Is nothing but plunder and mourn

And Italy’s got one desire

To finally end the war
