Carpe Diem (Seize the Day)

Yeah

Yeah

Mmm

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

Wall was built by Hadrian

And 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

Among the fences, lonely posed

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
