lyrics

As the sun rises
On another day
Just another city
Built up from the clay
Do you remember times
When ivory towers rose from the sea
Eroding below

We had no conception
Of what we had done
Felt that it all had been
Been in good fun
Well now the time for merriment
Is finally at an end
Our conscience
We can no longer defend

As Rome falls in front of me
Yeah
But oh, our humanity is still in reach

Wake the fuck up
The devil is at your door
It’s not just your Rome that these Visigoths want
Do you want somewhere to eat?
Do you want somewhere to sleep?
Then pour the water on the fire burning through them while they

Sleep in front of me
yeah
But oh, our humanity is still in reach

Ooooooh
Fall of Rome
Yeah yeah yeah oh oh
Fuel the Fire
Fall of Rome
Yeah yeah yeah

Standing on the hill
In the mountain of their dreams
The wind blows ashes into my eyes
Shield my face from a burnt out sun
And remember Rome
