As Rome Burns

We are the new gods

Same as the old gods

We’ll take all your blood

And turn it into mud

As Rome burns

One by one

Two by two

Together they ride

Side by side

Into love

Together they die

And still they want to weather the tide

As Rome burns

Forgiveness all your days

To count what you can’t save

We’ll take out one good eye

And leave a world to fall behind

As Rome burns

I see them everywhere out shaking to the beat

Cursing out their elements

With chaos, chaos bleats

And what seemed urgent then turns wicked in the heat

As Rome burns to the motherfucking ground
