lyrics

Who are these lonely babes with Tiber poses,
Remind me of Enkidu, Mowgli and that Moses,
They look for solid ground, auspicious birds are found,
An empire built on the fratricidal funeral mounds.

Eternal City on 7 hills,
The progeny of the wolf mother’s sacred milk.

Oh, Ancient Rome,
Oh, Ancient Rome,
It keeps on calling me,
Keeps calling me,
Keeps calling me back home!

Is this the Rubicon? We’ll keep on marching!
The future Brutus, the aspersions he’ll be casting,
The dreams of women, gossip of idle men,
Three and twenty blades of treachery, he couldn’t comprehend.

Is that the smell of burning? Or the sound of fiddles?
Our hero Nero, lives off fine wine and good vittles,
On Aventinus! Our brother Palatine!
“Pay heed, oh Juno, to the authors of these heinous crimes.”

Eternal city, the final page,
The last of the lamp light before the Dark Age.

Drawing from 70s classic and southern rock and the belief that watching live music should be truckin good fun, they blend their tight grooving rhythms and slick guitar work with tongue in cheek tall tales, innuendo and belt-it-out BVs. ... more
