Brutus:
There is a storm in the distance
I can see it
creeping closer
Lightning strikes in an instant
and thunder shakes the sky
I've seen this before, you can't escape it
can't delay it
no point racing rainclouds
The only choice is to brave it
turn and face it
no running away now
The trees will tremble and fall
The dark will cover the moon
The birds will send out a call
though the end isn't soon
The fools in darkened rooms will pray
I don't believe in all that
but on nights like these, I do
I do...
Caesar:
There is no peace in this moment
Not on earth
nor in the heavens (nor in the heavens)
But then, what's one more opponent?
Even tempests have their endings (tempests have their endings)
BOTH:
I know the others are watching
Do they think I'm one to hide?
There is a hurricane deep inside me
that I cannot deny
They'll say I've angered the gods
They'll jeer as I take the floor
And they'll say we're the first
but we've been here before
And in my fear, I'm drawn to pray
I can't run from the fight
What am I here praying for?
There is a storm in the distance (I don't see how this can end well)
I can see it
creeping closer (I can't prophesize the fate of Rome)
Lightning strikes in an instant (but tell me how and tell me now)
An answer I already know
