At the Rubicon Songtext
von Attalus

Tonight the die is cast
This step could be my last
The city is burning
And there is no turning back

A new wind breeze, it beckons me to cross the stream
Bids me come and seek my fate
My heart is leaping, it′s running, it's yearning, it′s burning
But my reason bids me wait
"While you're here, you are safe," it tells me
"Turn back now while there's still a chance
You are a king, this is your fortune
But over there you′re just a man"

So why don′t you lay down your guns, futile fight?
'Cause this is the time to leave all else behind


′Cause tonight the die is cast
And I have no other choice
This step could be my last
And I can't ignore that voice
Well, I counted up the cost
Everything I have is lost
All I′ve left to do is cross

This is the place we call the crossroad
The river marks the great divide
Separating kings from kingdoms
Sons from fathers, men from wives
A gentle stream, the only barrier
Between the dream and what is real
Leave this cave of empty shadows
Step into the light of what's real

Lay down your guns, futile fight
Your fear has made you blind
But this is the price freedom requires
To leave all else behind

′Cause tonight the die is cast
And I have no other choice
This step could be my last
And I can't ignore that voice
Well, I counted up the cost
Everything I have is lost
All I've left to do is cross


Step across the line
Cut the tie that binds
Listen to my heart and not my mind
Let the kingdom fall
Castles, thrones, and all
Life is on the other side

Step across the line
Cut the tie that binds
Listen to my heart and not my mind
Let the kingdom fall
Castles, thrones, and all
′Cause life is on the other side

Tonight the die is cast
This step could be my last
The city is burning
And there is no turning back

Tonight the die is cast
This step could be my last

The city is burning
And there is no turning back
I counted up the cost
All I have left is more to toss
And now that this weight be lift
Salvation is here and it′s mine for the taking
