Mercy for Today |
| His name remembered forever a mortal man feared by a nation* |
| His talents legendary, brilliant commander, unstoppable army |
| Sheath my blade and turn to walk away |
| Don’t forget that I m doing you a favor |
| Let you live by showing mercy for today |
| This action goes against my behavior |
| Your hero your savior |
| Tactics unmatched, the father of strategy |
| Led his men to victory countless times |
| Against impossible odds, the sun will rise |
| Dawn will come, thousands armed and ready |
| Their blades reflecting light, as if to say this is the last day |
| Holding eager, awaiting command, endless sea of soldiers |
| Parted in the middle, ground is fresh, dew drops on grass |
| Sheath my blade and turn to walk away |
| Don’t forget that I’m doing you a favor |
| Let you live by showing mercy for today |
| His action goes against my behavior |
| Your hero your savior |
| To all others known simply as |
| The destroyer killer of |
| Thousands victories and hundreds |
| Lost only once but great, were the casualties |
| Exiled for years, lead an army through the Alps |
| With great bizarre beasts |
| Epic in scale upon enemies he feasts |
| Gave birth to military, strategies great victories |
| Hannibal the general, took down the empire of Rome |
| Refused to be slain by, the hand of any foe |
| On his hand a ring, contains a poison |
| If the time should come, he would take his own life |
| The flesh may be dead, Legacy forever |
| Count the rings of Romans killed, life extinguished |
| Sheath my blade and turn and walk away |
| Don’t forget that I m doing you a favor |
| Let you live by showing mercy for today |
| This action goes against my behavior |
| Your hero your savior |
| Hannibal is son of Carthage |
