Translation
Bilingual
Far out on the border, stands an ancient wall
The limits of the empire where the eagles called
Carpe diem
Stretching out across the land, snakes through moor and stone
The wall was built by Hadrian, an emperor of Rome
Carpe diem
They came, they saw, they conquered
The legions of the eagle will not fall
Carpe diem, seize the day
From coast to coast they built and slaved, a tower every mile
Legionnaires would live and die under foreign skies
Carpe diem
The garrisons would guard the wall, looking to the north
Out into the territory of the northern hordes
Carpe diem
They came, they saw, they conquered
The legions of the eagle will not fall
ย
Carpe diem, seize the day
Carpe diem, seize the day
Over time the legions, left these long-forgotten ruins
Where battalions stood and held the line against the picts and druids
Carpe diem
Still the wall is standing now, keeping silent watch
Upon the frontiers lonely post towards the land of Scots
Carpe diem
They came, they saw, they conquered
The legions of the eagle will not fall
They came to fight and conquer
The legends of the eagle will not die!
Carpe diem, seize the day
Carpe diem, seize the day
Carpe diem, seize the day
Carpe diem, seize the day
