Szymon Roma Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rome, oh Rome
Where is your empire in the ground
A pile of stones
Take out the wind there's not a sound

[Pre-Chorus]
Hundreds of years
Yet it's all stayed the same
Just different coloured clothes
And a different sounding name
The weather keeps on changing
But the sky's still there
The lights had led me to the front
And burnt me like a flare

[Chorus]
Oh what is this anchor here
Why won't it just disappear
Driven by a fear that just won't go
And yet you come so close
Yet you're so far away
It doesn't have to be up
Oh what is this anchor here
Why won't it just disappear
Driven by a fear that just won't go
And yet you come so close
Yet you're so far away
It doesn't have to be up

[Verse 2]
Rome, oh Rome
Cycles of nature you can see
We've got frail bones
We could just break so easily

[Pre-Chorus]
Hundreds of years
Yet it's all stayed the same
Just different coloured clothes
And a different sounding name
The weather keeps on changing
But the sky's still there
The lights had led me to the front
And burnt me like a flare

[Chorus]
Oh what is this anchor here Why won't it just disappear
Driven by a fear that just won't go
And yet you come so close
Yet you're so far away
It doesn't have to be up
Oh what is this anchor here
Why won't it just disappear
Driven by a fear that just won't go
And yet you come so close
Yet you're so far away
It doesn't have to be up

[Bridge]
Craters in the street
Now are things you have to keep
Saw you in my sleep
With diamonds in a rubbish heap
Craters in the street
Now are things you have to keep
Saw you in my sleep
With diamonds in a rubbish heap

[Refrain]
And you'll never know
Things will stay untold
Some things will never be
And you'll never know
Things will stay untold
Some things will never be

[Chorus]
Oh what is this anchor here
Why won't it just disappear
Driven by a fear that just won't go
And yet you come so close
Yet you're so far away
It doesn't have to be up
Oh what is this anchor here
Why won't it just disappear
Driven by a fear that just won't go
And yet you come so close
Yet you're so far away
It doesn't have to be uphill
