Caligula Lyrics - Dickies

in the city of rome 2000 years ago 

the lord tiberius bequeathed to his son caligula 

he ascended the throne and many a head did roll 

this horrid apparition that hell hath wrought caligula 

sent to earth by the light of the earth osteria 

given birth by the might of his sword caligula 

now in glory he reigns o'er provinces great and small 

be he a god or man all must tremble at the hand of caligula 

given fire by the light of his sire germania 

to be thrown on the flames of the pyre octavia 

along the appian way the crucified cry out loud 

"by the wrath of the gods be accursed the name caligula" 

dominus aquatari ex spiritus nu men 

ominus demagorgon extermitor regis 

hail romulus 

hail remulus 

caligula 

hail claudius 

hail flavius 

caligula 

hail juluis caesarius caligula 

the sibyl spoke of his fame in prophecy long foretold 

the one called little boots & the kingdom he'd steal caligula 

sent to earth by the light of the word osteria 

given birth by the might of his sword caligula 

and so a rival god he became to rival the might of jove 

the whore of babylon and the beast that she rode caligula 

dominus aquatari ex spiritus nu men 

ominus demagorgon extermitor regis 

hail romulus 

hail remulus 

caligula 

hail claudius 

hail flavius 

caligula 

hail juluis caesarius caligula 

when he heard the hooves of madness 

that stirred upon his head leaving him for dead 

'twas then he'd roam 

through the halls of the palace keep 

but nevermore to sleep 

now the century's past the fates shall tell the tale 

woe to the man who would emulate a god caligula 

dominus aquatari ex spiritus nu men 

ominus demagorgon extermitor regis 

hail romulus 

hail remulus 

caligula 

hail claudius 

hail flavius 

caligula 

hail juluis caesarius caligula
