    Story Behind the Song
    This song is about the might of Rome and any othe fascist people who rule by the sword. It is meant to represent the legionaires of the republic giving up their farms to march in well tuned line.

    Lyrics
    Way back in the republic
    I left my farm behind
    Went to join the legion
    And stepped in well-tuned line
    With the pounding of the onagers
    beating out the time.

    covering fifly miles of ground
    lugging a sixty pound pack around
    Though we will not grow weary
    Upon our journey long
    While our ears are ringing
    With this Fascist marching song:

    We will march into your village
    We will ravage and pillage
    We will lay siege to your town
    Head of gold on feet of clay
    We will march until our days are done.

    'et sic transit
    Gloria mundi
    ubi pecunia regnet
    Populi sunt servi
    In hoc signo vinces
    Fors bellumque omnia vincent'
