“Singing the Romans”

Ave Maria Reimagined

My Lyrics:

Hannibal the Animal

He almost took down Rome himself 

When his father died he came to power 

He planned for years to defeat the Romans 

His calvary defeated Scipio’s forces

Near the Ticumus river 

He acquired another victory at Trebia 

At this point the Romans were scared

They withdrew their forces from central Italy

In order to protect northern Italy

Hannibal the animal 

Hannibal the animal 

Hannibal the animal, Carthage loved him

His troops loved and supported him

He was so successful because his troops never betrayed him in the span of 15 years

He used war elephants in his battles

He wasn’t defeated until the battle of Zama

Led by Scipio Africanus the leader

Defeated him in the second battle of the punic war 

Hannibal the Animal

Ave Maria, mater Dei
Ora pro nobis peccatoribus

In hora mortis nostrae
