Lyrics

our empire has fallenthe columns came crashing downfaster that children could outrun the shadowsdrunk with hysteria the survivors are running for their livesas precious dreams erupt before their very eyestonight, it's over...at long last we will fallruins will fight in our steadmy flesh is burning from the embersbut still the brilliant tale of our utopia survivestonight her beautiful exterior may crash and burn to ashbut the fight for her honor will rage on
I hope I never see the end
I hope I never have to live without her comfortbut for now she dies... oh
Rome! so full of majesty, you're gone...wind chokes on the ashes as acrid smoke strangles the suntheir jealous arrows ran, hollow drums pound at the gatesbreaking the din of screamsour feeble offerings to forgotten
Gods are left to rot in temples of their lustas they lay forth their plans to destroy our pride, our hometonight, it's over...at long last we will fallruins will fight in our steadmy flesh is burning from the embersbut still the brilliant tale of our utopia survivestonight her beautiful exterior may crash and burn to ashbut the fight for her honor will rage on
I hope I never see the end
I hope I never have to live without her comfortbut 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 muchto forget the past in the face of this final trialwatch her crumble so true as mayhem cuts her downlet them have our treasure, her voice lives onlet them take our city for her splendor lives on...at long last we will fall...
