[On the Ides of March (March 15) a group of senators 
called Caesar to the forum for the purpose of reading a 
petition. However, the petition was a fake. As Caesar 
began to read the false petition, Tillius Cimber, who 
had handed him the petition, pulled down Caesar's 
tunic. According to Suetonius, Caesar then cried to 
Cimber, "Why, this is violence!" Within moments, the 
entire group, including Brutus, was striking out at the 
dictator. Caesar attempted to get away, but, blinded by 
blood, he tripped and fell; the men continued stabbing 
him as he lay defenceless on the lower steps of the 
portico. According to Eutropius, around sixty or more 
men participated in the assassination. He was stabbed 
23 times.
According to Plutarch, after the assassination, Brutus 
stepped forward as if to say something to his fellow 
senators; they, however, fled the building. Brutus and 
his companions then marched to the Capitol while crying 
out to their beloved city: "People of Rome, we are once 
again free!". They were met with silence, as the 
citizens of Rome had locked themselves inside their 
houses as soon as the rumour of what had taken place 
had begun to spread.
A wax statue of Caesar was erected in the forum 
displaying the 23 stab wounds. A crowd who had amassed 
there started a fire, which badly damaged the forum and 
neighbouring buildings. In the ensuing chaos Mark 
Antony, Octavian (later Augustus Caesar), and others 
fought a series of five civil wars, which would end in 
the formation of the Roman Empire.]
Welcome Caesar to the Senate floor,
You're in for a meeting like never before!
Play the part, walk to your final act - your requiem!
Do you know what's behind the set?
Can you read from the eyes you've met?
On this day we cherish the God of war.
Warned by the seer to stay away,
You should've listened, they're not all astray.
Every step you take may be your last; a thing of the 
past!
Do you know what's behind the lies?
Can't you see you're the one they despise?
On this day we cherish the God of war
You live with traitors by your side
Watching you waste your days and nights
Take the seer's advice and cherish your life
Beware, beware the Ides of March!
An innocent meeting or so it would seem,
In a place so private, none can hear you scream.
A crowded room, a quick violent stare; a knife 
surprise!
Tripping, falling, there's no chance for escape
23 wounds are more than it takes.
A tyrant is down; no help for him now
[CHORUS]
Welcome Caesar to the Senate floor,
You've been in a meeting like never before!
Played your part in your final act
Your requiem!
