("A penny for the old guy...")



In the time we were lost and scarred in a moment

Tortured by doubt and surrounded by ruins

Yours was the pleasure and mine was the 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

Blood was your question and blood was your answer

You spit in the fires and eyes of desires

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



Then make me feel that the world shall turn

When broken is the faith that kept us alive

And where shall I go?

And if I do shall I stumble?

Will anyone catch me when i fall as I must?



And when Rome falls

Falls the world
