Lyrics
This is my story, my name is Julius
You might know me from the battles in Dyrrachium and Pharsalus
a roamin Roman, 44 BC
I came, I saw, I conquered everything before me
But one day I was alone, in my garden of tranquility
a mist descended, what happened next wasn't real to me
a flash of light and then an apparation unfurled
a man emerged, wearing garments that were not from this world
I was frozen to my seat he said "I come in Peace"
"I'm from the future, you must be Ceasar, my names Mink-C"
he explained how he had stumbled on a secret time machine
and how he had read some history and travelled back in time to warn me
how my allies were conspiring now to kill their friend
how at the meeting of the senate in Pompey my life would end
how Brutus and Cassius only saw me as tyrannical
they wanted to take my place at the pinnacle
daggers were getting sharpened, to do the deed
i should really believe, i should really take heed
next thing he said "I've got to leave but do take care"
another cloud of smoke, his time machine went spinning in the air
was I hallucinating? Was I losing my mind?
But my wife Calpurnia couldn't see the funny side
I worked out, steam rooms and roman baths could wait
spent my time building strength just to change my fate
hatched a plot to try and switch this crazy situation
And so I went to the senate knowing assassins were waiting...
(Hail Ceasar! Hail Ceasar!)
Well the day has come, don my fanciest gear
I'm heading to the pompey senate with my heart full of fear
i got my gold plated blade under my coat for insurance
sycophants in the place offering their reassurance
hail ceasar! yeah yeah, okay
but my minds on other things in the heat of the day
i could see the plot thicken, the first act in the play
gaius trebonius kept marc anthony away
i guess i'm on my own, so I sat in my chair
Tullius came up to me, could see the devil in his stare
With a grasping hand he yanked my purple robe as a sign
well the seconds passed slow, it was about that time
I feel a blow to my side, my man Casca had stuck me
At that moment the sheer size of the my task had struck me
There must have been at least 60 cats with daggers
I jump out of my chair but feel the pain and start to stagger
dodging the blows, I reveal my blade
utilised the fighting skills the tool of my trade
swinging just like a madman, deflecting the attacks
a few blades caught me but i'm giving it back
i'm still on my feet, devil bodies on the floor
their tiny daggers nothing to my conquerors sword
then i'm confroned with a person that I viewed as a friend
Marcus Brutus held his dagger didn't try to pretend
I whispered "You Too, My Child?", didn't need to shout
Then with a swoop and a slice, I took that bastard out
With a tear in my eye seeing the bodies before me
I rose, my hardest battle but another victory
I am the king of kings, killing me is absurd!
Then the room filled with smoke, and a vision appeared
It was the man from before, I can't thank him enough
I want to hail you as my savior, the Minkus C-us
You showed me the way, although I had fear within me
You warned me, I took action now my people couldn't kill me
