Saxon - Carpe Diem (Seize The Day) lyrics

[Saxon - Carpe Diem Seize The Day lyrics]

Far out on the border, stands an ancient wall
The limit's of the Empire
Where the eagles called
Carpe diem
Stretching out across the land
It snakes through moor and stone
The wall was built by Hadrian
An emperor of Rome
Carpe diem

They came, they saw, they conquered
The legions of the eagle will not fall

Carpe diem
Seize the day

From coast to coast they built and
Slaved a tower every mile
Legionnaires would live and die
Under foreign skies
Carpe diem


The garrisons would guard the wall
Looking to the North
Out into the territory of the Northern Hordes
Carpe diem

They came, they saw, they conquered
The legions of the eagle will not fall

Carpe diem
Seize the day
Carpe diem
Seize the day

Over time the legions left
These long-forgotten ruins
Where battalions stood and held the line
Against the Picts and Druids
Carpe diem
Still the wall is standing now
Keeping silent watch
Upon the frontiers lonely post towards
The land of Scots
Carpe diem

They came, they saw, they conquered
The legions of the eagle will not fall
They came to fight and conquer
The legends of the eagle will not die

Carpe diem
Seize the day
Carpe diem
Seize the day
Carpe diem
Seize the day
Carpe diem
Seize the day
