This song is about Julius Caesar leading his armies across the river Rubicon, beginning a civil war against the conservative faction of the Roman Senate lead by his former friend Pompey the Great (Pompeius Magnus). Ave Roma is latin for ‘Hail Rome’.
[Verse 1]
After all those years, after all the wars
I'll return and Rome is mine
I will never fail, my imperium
Across the river I will march
[Pre-Chorus]
There is no retreat, no turning back
I am legion, ad arma
[Chorus]
Ave Roma
Alea iacta est
Ave Roma
I'll cross the Rubicon
Ave Roma
Alea iacta est
Ave Roma
Roma
[Verse 2]
The end I will become what they believe
Bringing war to their door
There's no place to hide, there's no placе to run
And in Greece, it will end
[Pre-Chorus]
Therе is no retreat, no turning back
I am legion, ad arma
[Chorus]
Ave Roma
Alea iacta est
Ave Roma
I'll cross the Rubicon
Ave Roma
Alea iacta est
Ave Roma
Roma
[Bridge]
Ave - Ave Roma

[Chorus]
Ave Roma
Alea iacta est
Ave Roma
I'll cross the Rubicon
Ave Roma
Alea iacta est
Ave Roma
