about
CAESAR is the first release of 2021 from The Dares. Most of the song was completed over a year ago. The political and social reality of 2020 elevated the song to the top of the list of unreleased 'Dare' songs. The themes of ego, pride, and retaining power at all costs fit the mood of when it was released. The track was recorded periodically throughout the second half of 2020. It is the first completely self recorded track by Ben and Matt.
lyrics
They say that Caesar died
from a long embrace
a colossal pride
and a knife
He tried to seize the day
but then he filled his life
with his own decay
and denial
I'm not going to rest my case
no I'm not going to capitulate
I'm not going to rest my case
no I'm not going to leave
He tried to fleece his own
spoke in only lies
and his pompous throne
was despised
He tried to seize the day
but then he filled his life
with his own decay
and denial
I'm not going to rest my case
no I'm not going to capitulate
I'm not going to rest my case
no I'm not going to leave
