The Prologue - Rome Lyrics

A citadel under siege again,
The grandiose mystique, the pain,
Power and sin, her pious endeavours...
She brings a godless world together.

Her legionnaires in the pouring rain,
A motionless machine in wait...
When rapture begins, the silence is severed,
And soon the blood flows cold as ever.

Rome is now...
You're in the eye of a hurricane,
Rome is how...
You will obey, or be slaves.

Romulus he decided, one should be king.
Remus would be denied it,
Deemed my dream my Rome...
Like two worlds colliding.
Blood, flesh and bone...
Death, as the one surviving
Screamed, "My dream, my Rome...!"

Protecting empire far away, But is the mistress still the slave?
When enemies fall, crushed, bound and tethered,
She knows they won't lie still forever.

And so it's fear turning feet to clay,
Beyond the tears, rebuild again...
Nations and creeds contorted together,
The kiss of fate stands sealed forever.

Rome is now...
You're in the eye of a hurricane,
Rome is how...
You will obey, or be slaves.

Romulus he decided, one should be king.
Remus would be denied it,
Deemed my dream my Rome...
Like two worlds colliding.
Blood, flesh and bone...
Death, as the one surviving
Screamed, "My dream, my Rome...!"
