The Lyrics
Life as a Roman Emperor
I was, was, crowned one day,
My father, he betrayed,
The welfare of the state,
The citizens were filled with hate.
Now they all want me to live,
And see the guidance that I'll give,
Glory of the dynasty,
Leading legions into the wild,
General is my first-born child.
Taking down the foes of Roma,
Bang, bang,
I am the emperor,
Yes, I am the emperor,
The civēs'* hearts I'll win,
And I'll survive,
The emperor, the emperor!
They walk, walk, to see me,
And give me laud as deity,
For when I go out to fight,
I show them all my glorious might.
Colosseum hosts my game,
Gladiators fight for fame,
But now I see rioting,
Looks like the Plebs want me exiled,
(I'll) send after them, my first-born child!
Taking down the foes of Roma,
Bang, bang,
I am the emperor,
Yes, I am the emperor,
The civēs' hearts I'll win,
And I'll survive,
The emperor, the emperor.
I am the emperor!
[Instrumental, where the emperor puts down the rebellion]
Taking down the foes of Roma
(taking down the foes of Roma),
The emperor,
I am the emperor,
The civēs' hearts I'll win,
(the civēs' hearts I'll win),
And I'll survive,
The emperor, the emperor!
Taking down the foes of Roma,
Bang, bang,
I am the emperor,
Yes, I am the emperor,
And victory is mine!
My father, he betrayed,
The welfare of the state,
The citizens were filled with hate.
Now they all want me to live,
And see the guidance that I'll give,
Glory of the dynasty,
Leading legions into the wild,
General is my first-born child.
Taking down the foes of Roma,
Bang, bang,
I am the emperor,
Yes, I am the emperor,
The civēs'* hearts I'll win,
And I'll survive,
The emperor, the emperor!
They walk, walk, to see me,
And give me laud as deity,
For when I go out to fight,
I show them all my glorious might.
Colosseum hosts my game,
Gladiators fight for fame,
But now I see rioting,
Looks like the Plebs want me exiled,
(I'll) send after them, my first-born child!
Taking down the foes of Roma,
Bang, bang,
I am the emperor,
Yes, I am the emperor,
The civēs' hearts I'll win,
And I'll survive,
The emperor, the emperor.
I am the emperor!
[Instrumental, where the emperor puts down the rebellion]
Taking down the foes of Roma
(taking down the foes of Roma),
The emperor,
I am the emperor,
The civēs' hearts I'll win,
(the civēs' hearts I'll win),
And I'll survive,
The emperor, the emperor!
Taking down the foes of Roma,
Bang, bang,
I am the emperor,
Yes, I am the emperor,
And victory is mine!
