THE DICKIES LYRICS

"Caligula"

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
