Saxon - Carpe Diem (Seize The Day)

Lyrics to Carpe Diem (Seize The Day) by Saxon

Far out on the border, stands an ancient wall The limits of the empire where the eagles called Carpe diem Stretching out across the land, 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 [?] 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 [?] 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
