American Born Roman
In the Red Sea of Sol Invictus
 I tread through centurion legions
 With eyes bound shut by blind prophets -
 The faults do not lie in their stars
 But the faulty stars lie about their faults -
 As their blades establish home in their sleeves
 I am convinced Brutus will soon betray Caesar once more
 
 The Parcae have sewn into my countenance a smile
 With the thread of life, so that I shall greet Mors unafraid
 Mars has lent me his strength so that I may seize each elusive day
 Ira Ultoris in me fluit, ira Ultoris in me fluit, ira Ultoris in me fluit
 But I rue the days when Venus sends to me her son
 
 In the Black Sea of lustrous Luna
 My thoughts are fathomed into constellations
 By the poor plebes rich with wisdom -
 My faults are drowning in the depth of my stars
 Floating freely in the cavernous space -
 As I weigh my heart with the scales of Iustitia
 Along with my mind, the scales tip in favor
 Of stagnant blood
