Sabaton - Crossing The Rubicon Lyrics




[ Featuring Nothing More ]

He is crossing the Rubicon
Hundred years before our lord, from the cradle to the sword
A sign of what's to come, of what can be undone
On to conquest tempting fate, in the footsteps of the great
A consul on the move, he's building bridges and his
Enemies enter the field
Knowing their fate has been sealed
Africa, Italy, Spain and Gaul will kneel
He is crossing the Rubicon
Heading home to where he belong
Born to rule it alone, the glory of Rome
He is crossing the Rubicon
Over the river at last, the die has been cast
Fortune does favour the brave, from the Senate to the grave
This man would seek it all, this man would heed the call
The republics doom and fall, he's the man who caused it all
Dictator on the move, he's burning bridges as his
Grip of the power of Rome
Secured as he heads for the throne
The 15th of March, the knives would cut to the bone
He is crossing the Rubicon (Yeah)
Heading home to where he belong
Born to rule it alone, the glory of Rome
He is crossing the Rubicon
Over the river at last, the die has been cast
He is crossing the Rubicon
Heading home to where he belong
Born to rule it alone, the glory of Rome
He is crossing the Rubicon
Over the river at last, the die has been cast

Crossing The Rubicon

The phrase "crossing the Rubicon" is an idiom that means "passing a point of no return". Its meaning comes from allusion to the crossing of the river Rubicon from the north by Julius Caesar in early January 49 BC. The exact date is unknown. Scholars usually place it on the night of 10 and 11 January because of the speeds at which messengers could travel at that time. It is often asserted that Caesar's crossing of the river precipitated Caesar's civil war, but Caesar's forces had already crossed into Italy and occupied Ariminum the previous day.

The civil war ultimately led to Caesar's becoming dictator for life (dictator perpetuo). Caesar had been appointed to a governorship over a region that ranged from southern Gaul to Illyricum. As his term of governorship ended, the Senate ordered him to disband his army and return to Rome. As it was illegal to bring armies into the northern border of which was marked by the river Rubicon, his crossing the river under arms amounted to insurrection, treason, and a declaration of war on the state. According to some authors, he uttered the phrase iacta alea est ("the die is cast") before crossing.
