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 And blood was your question And blood was your answer You spit in the fires And eyes of desire 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 And then make me feel That the world still turn When broken is the faith That kept us alive And where shall I go? And if I do will I stumble? Will anyone catch me When I fall as I must? And when Rome falls Falls the world
