By The Seed Of Germanicus
From The Womb Of Agrippina
He Was Born In The Camp
And Reared Amidst The Arms Of Rome
At The Outset A Sign That He Was Fated To Rule
His Surname Caligula
Derived From A Jest Of The Troops
Would Forever Be Heared And Feared
For The Beast Marked This Name
His Natural Cruelty And Viciousness
He Could Not Control
Most Eager To Witness The Torture And Executions
Of Those Who Suffered Punishment
Revelling At Night In Gluttony And Adultery
Disguised In A Wig And A Long Robe
Passionately Devoted To The Theatrical Arts
Of Dancing And Singing
Tiberius' Hope Was In Vain
For His Savage Nature Could Never Be Softened
Oh, Tiberius, Shrewd Old Man
Only Your Eyes Foresaw
To Allow Gaius To Live Would Prove The Ruin Of Yourself
And Of All Men
Ave Caligula
Natricem Populo Romano
Ave Caligula
Phaethontem Orbi Terrarum Educare
