1. Carpe Diem (Seize the Day) (4:42)
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
It 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
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 legions of the eagle will not die
Carpe Diem
Seize the day
Stands an ancient wall
The limits of the Empire
Where the eagles called
Carpe Diem
Stretching out across the land
It 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
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 legions of the eagle will not die
Carpe Diem
Seize the day
