Nero's Decay |
| 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 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 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… |
| …Beg the flames for our mercy… |
| These aged walls have seen too much |
| To forget the past in the face of this final trial |
| …Beg the flames for our mercy… |
| Watch her crumble so true |
| As mayhem cuts her down |
| Let them have our treasure |
| Her voice lives on |
| …Beg the flames for our mercy… |
| Watch her crumble so true |
| As mayhem cuts her down |
| Let them take our city |
| For her splendor lives on |
| …at long last we will fall… |
| …at long last we will fall… |
| …at long last we will fall… |
| …at long last we will fall… |
