Our empire has fallen
The columns came crashing down
Faster that children could outrun the shadows
Drunk with hysteria the survivors are running for their lives
As precious dreams erupt before their very eyes
Tonight, it's over...at long last we will fall
Ruins will fight in our stead
My flesh is burning from the embers
But still the brilliant tale of our utopia survives
Tonight her beautiful exterior may crash and burn to ash
But the fight for her honor will rage on
I hope I never see the end
I hope I never have to live without her comfort
But for now she dies... oh Rome! so full of majesty, you're gone...
Wind chokes on the ashes as acrid smoke strangles the sun
Their jealous arrows ran, hollow drums pound at the gates
Breaking the din of screams
Our feeble offerings to forgotten Gods are left to rot in temples of their lust
As they lay forth their plans to destroy our pride, our home
Tonight, it's over...at long last we will fall
Ruins will fight in our stead
My flesh is burning from the embers
But still the brilliant tale of our utopia survives
Tonight her beautiful exterior may crash and burn to ash
But the fight for her honor will rage on
I hope I never see the end
I hope I never have to live without her comfort
But for now she dies... oh Rome! so full of majesty, you're gone...
...beg the flames for our mercy...
These aged walls have seen too much
To forget the past in the face of this final trial
Watch her crumble so true as mayhem cuts her down
Let them have our treasure, her voice lives on
Let them take our city for her splendor lives on
so obvious the fall of rome and the name i think kinda signifies bad leaders who kinda caused the fall of rome but nero had to be one of the worst thts funny ^-^ i just learned of the fall of rome!
This song has inspired me a lot. For drawing, and a lot in my mind.
It makes me see into the past, about 10 000 years ago. The mindless wars, the survivors. It makes me think of a legend. All of it put together.. Beauty
