Lyrics

You haven’t any clue of how to get near me
You treat people like a petting zoo while boasting your army
All the animals that have been caught in the net of your damage
Are not the frightened lambs you think, they’re strong enough to manage

And leave the king to hold court for a kingdom of one
When Rome falls. Will be done.

We ask for an even playing field, you run like a hamster
To exercise the futility that you could be kinder
The redshirt blood brigade you use to gain an advantage
While someone always has to suffer for you, more wounds to bandage

And leave the king to hold court for a kingdom of one
A small token of the thunder begun
When rome falls, we'll be done.
Grown men cried
dared and tried
the battlefield was lit up with the sun
the gold of it shone upon none.

The dark horse stabled up inside needs all our attention
You’ve shamed it into feeling things too cruel to mention
We hid ourselves away but found no safety in numbers
The ancient seas are littered with the hours of our slumbers

As we leave the king to hold court for a kingdom of one
A small token of the thunder begun
A new winter is as handsomely won
When rome falls, we'll be done.

(the sun and the moon will give illumination to
The weakening signal that he’s trying to transmit to you
He’ll walk in every corner pacing everywhere that we’ve been
The distance is a bridge that we cannot surrender)

If we leave he cannot fight us
The king could never buy us
The winter is behind us
And we will leave him.
When Rome falls, we'll be done.
