I can smell the bodies, burning the earth

Hispania has fallen, Rome at my grasp

My patience is vast, resolve absolute

Lex Talionis

My order arrives, I'll bring your fate

No one will stop this dominance rise

Unleash my wrath, thunder from Carthage

Roma will perish

One will save the world from demise

One will walk this earth triumphant

One will roam with the beasts of the world

One will decimate all

Can you see my rage bleed through my veins?

Can you see the future engulfed in Carthage?

I'll break through your gates, thousands of men

Forty beasts at hand, Celtics by my side

Blood in the Roman rivers

Resistance will fall

One by one, sword by sword

I will be king

King of the world

Father, give me your strength

The impossible shall be possible

We will find a way or make one

By the grace of my ancestors

I am Hannibal

Give me your strength, pillar of gods

My hands are frozen but my soul is on fire

The cold is my shelter, my faith is alive

But my body is dying, lift me again

To the sounds of wisdom

To the sounds of destruction

To the sounds of the angels

That will make me reborn

I will rise from the depths of demise

To lead this army into the bowels of Rome

To the bowels of Rome

I'm here at your footsteps

Let the sirens sing

The sounds of conquest

Can you hear my marching soldiers?

Can you hear my voice fade into the night?

I am here

I am here
