Lyrics Decius - Professor Emeritus

Decius

I am the king of the world
Born greater than mortal men
Caesar Augustus, I rule all
But now the mud covers our eyes
I scream at the sky
As the rain pours down my face
And I cure the gods
As I stand at the end of my world
Although I know we are divine
I can still feel now in this place
Covered in filth by my side
Only the gods from here man know
Where two Augustii Ian and die
Lying at the edge of the empire
Without the divine fate of a pyre
No sacrifices as my body turns to dust
Only the muck and mice of Arbittus
I scream at the sky
As the rain pours down my face
And I cure the gods
As I stand at the end of my world
Although I know we are divine
I can still feel now in this place
Covered in filth by my side
Only the gods from here man know
Where two Augustii now reside
A large Gothic force
The superior Roman source
A battle lost, I truly feel the cost
Taken from the sky, In the mud I die
Under a carrion eye
No one to mourn
Only enemies' scorn
For laurels I was born
Now my body has been torn
No justice from the gods
No glories for my people to laud
Lying under a shield, I see no Elysian Fields
Here we lie, Here we alive
I scream at the sky
As the rain pours down my face
And I cure the gods
As I stand at the end of my world
Although I know we are divine
I can still feel now in this place
Covered in filth by my side
Only the gods from here man know
Where two Augustii have now died
