In the time we were lost And scarred in a moment Torturedbydoubt And surrounded byruins Yours was the pleasure And mine wasthe praying The works of our lifetime Lay crumbled in dust
And when Rome falls Falls the world
It was blood that I gave you And blood that you worshipped And blood was your question And blood was your answer You spit in the fires And eyes of desire And snatched back the words You kept locked in your head
And when Rome falls Falls the world
And what did you give me? A rusted bent death's head A black flag that lies bleeding A dawn that lies dying We wandered through the rubbles In the last breaths of morning In the empty cathedrals In a world that has ceased
And when Rome falls Falls the world
And then make me feel That the world still turn When broken is the faith That kept us alive And where shall I go? And if I do will I stumble? Will anyone catch me When I fall as I must?
