I especially like the high amount of references ("five good emperors they say", "chosen and prepared Marcus Aurelius", and so on). And for the reason that A. P. is not a that well known figure from Roman history.
Lyrics: In ancient Rome, a leader rose Antoninus Pius, history knows A time of peace and prosperity His reign, a golden legacy From Gallia's shores to Roman throne Adopted son, to power grown Fair and just, he ruled with grace Bringing wealth to every place The people's needs, he understood A golden age of Roman good No war he sought, no conquest grand But strengthened borders of his land [Chorus] Antoninus Pius, wise and strong His rule would last for twenty-three years long From Britain's shores to Egypt's sand Peace and plenty blessed the land Built roads and cities, temples too Arts and learning, he pursued The Senate praised his steady hand As commerce flourished in the land Philosophy, his guiding light Stoic wisdom, his delight Marcus Aurelius, his chosen heir Prepared with diligence and care [Chorus] Antoninus Pius, wise and strong His rule would last for twenty-three years long From Britain's shores to Egypt's sand Peace and plenty blessed the land Hooooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooo The Five Good Emperors, they say Antoninus led the way His legacy in marble stone A model for those who'd take the throne Hooooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooo Though challenges would come to pass His rule remained a looking glass Of virtue, duty, and restraint A leader history cannot taint From east to west, his influence spread A time when Rome was wisely led In peace he ruled, in peace he died His memory still a source of pride [Chorus] Antoninus Pius, wise and strong His rule would last for twenty-three years long From Britain's shores to Egypt's sand Peace and plenty blessed the land Antoninus Pius, remembered still A golden age, his reign did fill In annals of Imperial Rome His name adorns history's tome Hooooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooo [end]
Since most people decided to skip this song. Just know that the epic part is the 3rd verse. If you skip that, you miss something. :)
Actually the best of all songs you uploaded so far! 👍
Thank you for giving value to the song! Most people haven't listened to half of the song because of the slow start!

Lyrics:
In ancient Rome, a leader rose
Antoninus Pius, history knows
A time of peace and prosperity
His reign, a golden legacy
From Gallia's shores to Roman throne
Adopted son, to power grown
Fair and just, he ruled with grace
Bringing wealth to every place
The people's needs, he understood
A golden age of Roman good
No war he sought, no conquest grand
But strengthened borders of his land
[Chorus]
Antoninus Pius, wise and strong
His rule would last for twenty-three years long
From Britain's shores to Egypt's sand
Peace and plenty blessed the land
Built roads and cities, temples too
Arts and learning, he pursued
The Senate praised his steady hand
As commerce flourished in the land
Philosophy, his guiding light
Stoic wisdom, his delight
Marcus Aurelius, his chosen heir
Prepared with diligence and care
[Chorus]
Antoninus Pius, wise and strong
His rule would last for twenty-three years long
From Britain's shores to Egypt's sand
Peace and plenty blessed the land
Hooooooooooooooo
Hooooooooooooooo
Hooooooooooooooo
Hooooooooooooooo
The Five Good Emperors, they say
Antoninus led the way
His legacy in marble stone
A model for those who'd take the throne
Hooooooooooooooo
Hooooooooooooooo
Hooooooooooooooo
Hooooooooooooooo
Though challenges would come to pass
His rule remained a looking glass
Of virtue, duty, and restraint
A leader history cannot taint
From east to west, his influence spread
A time when Rome was wisely led
In peace he ruled, in peace he died
His memory still a source of pride
[Chorus]
Antoninus Pius, wise and strong
His rule would last for twenty-three years long
From Britain's shores to Egypt's sand
Peace and plenty blessed the land
Antoninus Pius, remembered still
A golden age, his reign did fill
In annals of Imperial Rome
His name adorns history's tome
Hooooooooooooooo
Hooooooooooooooo
Hooooooooooooooo
Hooooooooooooooo
[end]

Hey, you finally did a song about Antoninus :) Nice, goosebumps from 2:35 :)

The same effect on me had 2:57.
"In peace he ruled, in peace he died."
