Cicero's Triumph

Within the Senate's ancient walls Ousted by virtue's call [Pre-Chorus] Cicero stands, with truth in hand A voice for justice, he takes a stand Rome's honor on the line He speaks, the people's eyes align Words, I spoke I'm far from Rome You gaze upon the sea What's vanished is his tyranny Justice, you hold The power was shown Exiled now, Verres fled the fight Whispers of corruption fade into night [Pre-Chorus] Cicero’s triumph, the Republic's might A beacon of hope in democracy’s light Farewell to tyranny, under the sky He watches the gulls on the Tiber fly [Verse 3] In the hush of twilight's purple shade The tyrant's shadow, finally begins to fade A stillness settles o’er the Forum's stones As power's echo, turns to just hushed tones [Chorus] Oh and Rome sighs, a weary but free breath The threat of Verres, silenced by exile’s death In the quiet of history's page (history's page) A senator stood, against the rage Now the chapters tell, of the fall and rise In Cicero's eyes, the end of lies [Chorus] And so Rome stands, proud and renewed With Verres gone, its heart's not subdued
