Lyrics

ROME BURNS
© 2016
Williams, Dolin, Ising


Verse l

citizens screaming and crying in pain
the norm becomes blood and blind fury again
nobody's watching - as buildings fall down
the Senate keeps fightin'- over who wears the crown

bodies pile up from a war fought with guns
young lives brought down when there's no place to run
(no) loving gods left to argue about
all believers are now drowning in doubt
and Rome burns

CHORUS
bridges and roads fall apart and break down
and the rivers reclaim what the powerful found
the zombies at work but nobody learns
and the Senate just fiddles - while a great city burns
And Rome Burns

Verse ll
children run wild in packs on the streets
living like dogs they have nothing to eat
the Senate displays all it's wealth in plain view
and rumbles of unrest are starting to brew
and Rome burns
