LYrics:
In the year one forty-six BC
Greece and Rome collide
At Corinth's gates, a battle fierce
Where freedom would subside
Lucius Mummius leads the charge
Roman legions strong and proud
The Achaean League stands defiant
Their last stand, heads unbowed
Critolaus fallen, Diaeus leads
Against the Roman might
Corinthian walls, once impregnable
Now tremble at the sight
[Chorus]
Hoooooo, the eagles fly
Hoooooo, the falcons fall
Corinth's fate hangs in the balance
As history makes its call
Siege engines batter ancient stones
Pilums darken the sky
Greek hoplites fight with desperate strength
As Roman cohorts cry
The agora runs red with blood
Temple steps slick with gore
Centuries of art and culture
Now threatened by war's roar
[Chorus]
Hoooooo, the eagles fly
Hoooooo, the falcons fall
Corinth's fate hangs in the balance
As history makes its call
Hoooooooooo The falcons fall
Hoooooooooo History makes its call
Hoooooooooo The falcons fall
Hoooooooooo History makes its call
Mummius breaches the city walls
Corinth's defenses break
House by house, street by street
The Romans lives do take
Flames engulf the mighty port
Smoke obscures the sun
Priceless statues torn asunder
A civilization undone
Hoooooooooo The falcons fall
Hoooooooooo History makes its call
Hoooooooooo The falcons fall
Hoooooooooo History makes its call
From the ashes of old Corinth
Rome's power would arise
Greece, once proud, now bows its head
As its last flicker dies
But legacy lives on in stone
In thought, in art, in rhyme
Though Corinth falls, Hellenic light
Illuminates through time
[Chorus]
Hoooooo, the eagles fly
Hoooooo, the falcons fall
Corinth's fate hangs in the balance
As history makes its call
`
The Battle of Corinth ends
Greece becomes Roman land
Hoooooo, the world has changed
By history's cruel hand
