Lyrics

Roman God-Like Man

Oh, what a clever man
Promise to never smile
Living inside of a life-long dream
Never apart from his fantasy

Oh, what has gone wrong now?
Is policy all you've got?
Wish I could be a god-like man inside of your museum

So close
But yet
So far
So close
But yet
Never a Roman god-like man inside of your museum

Look for the master plan
But never the wealthy sort
Imagine a day without empire
Keys to the afterlife set on fire

Doesn't believe the truth
These gods cannot be unkind
Wish I could be a god-like man inside of your museum

So close
But yet
So far
So close
But yet
Never a Roman god-like man inside of your museum

So close
But yet
So far
So close
But yet
Forever a real life statue in your model colosseum

Forever a Roman god-like man inside of your museum
Forever a Roman god-like man inside of your museum
Forever a Roman god-like man inside of your museum
Forever a Roman god-like man inside of your museum
