Lyrics:

Intro

Roma aeterna
Surge et canta
Ex cinere
Lux redit

Verse I

From the dust of broken ages
From the fire in our veins
We remember who we are now
Not the fear, not the chains
They tried to buy our voices
With bread and blood and lies
But every heart kept beating
Under darkened skies

Verse II

Empires rose and empires shattered
Names were carved and washed away
But the song we carry forward
Never learned how to obey
When the crowd became a weapon
And the throne was built on fear
Still the melody kept rising
Louder, stronger, clear

Pre-Chorus

Hands to the sky — we won’t fall
Hear the sound — we stand tall
What survives when kingdoms die
Is the fire we amplify

Chorus

Roma aeterna — fly with me
Roma aeterna — we are free
Through the night into the dawn
We are more than what is gone

Roma aeterna — hearts aligned
Roma aeterna — voice and time
Empires fade, but we go on
Rome lives on in every song

Verse III

No more crowns above our heads now
No more masters, no decree
Only rhythm, only heartbeat
Only who we choose to be
From the arena to the silence
From the ashes to the light
We turn history to harmony
And sing into the night

Verse IV

Let the statues turn to shadows
Let the marble lose its name
What they never could command here
Was the spark inside the flame
When the drums return as music
And the roar becomes a choir
We are lifting every voice now
Higher, higher, higher

Pre-Chorus

Hands to the sky — we won’t fall
Hear the sound — we stand tall
What survives when kingdoms die
Is the fire we amplify

Bridge

Vox populi
Cantat adhuc
Tempus transit
Cantus manet

Chorus

Roma aeterna — fly with me
Roma aeterna — we are free
Through the night into the dawn
We are more than what is gone

Roma aeterna — hearts aligned
Roma aeterna — voice and time
Empires fade, but we go on
Rome lives on in every song

Final Chorus

Roma aeterna — sing it loud
Roma aeterna — rise above the crowd
No more fear, no more control
Only fire in the soul

Roma aeterna — hand in hand
We outlive every command
When the past is overthrown
Rome lives on
Rome lives on

Outro

Roma aeterna
Cantus manet
Roma aeterna

Bread & Blood explores the rise and decay of ancient Rome — from emperors and arenas to crowds, sacrifice, and legacy.

Each song stands alone while also forming part of a continuous power metal opera about power, spectacle, and the price of control.

Epic melodies, heavy riffs, and historical atmosphere collide in this symphonic power metal journey.
