lyrics
Tell me how we came to live the rise before the fall
You can feel it in the atmosphere
Accumulating debts that we had endlessly put off
They echo through the after years
Rattling our swords at what's beyond the city walls
Part of the sum of all our fears
Gathering your friends to settle it once and for all
Time to loose an arrow from your bow
Set the limits where they cannot go
Home is ever yearning to leave town
Rome is ever burning down
Reconcile to see the old is threatened by the new
Test the speed of our decline
Use the time to paint your Trojan horse red white and blue
While the truth gets undermined
Spectre legionnaires control the movement of your limbs
Find the ghost in your machine
The future carried forward by our fortunes and our whims
The stores lay empty just before the snow
They know more about it than you know
Home is ever yearning to leave town
Rome is ever burning down
You can feel it in the atmosphere
Accumulating debts that we had endlessly put off
They echo through the after years
Rattling our swords at what's beyond the city walls
Part of the sum of all our fears
Gathering your friends to settle it once and for all
Time to loose an arrow from your bow
Set the limits where they cannot go
Home is ever yearning to leave town
Rome is ever burning down
Reconcile to see the old is threatened by the new
Test the speed of our decline
Use the time to paint your Trojan horse red white and blue
While the truth gets undermined
Spectre legionnaires control the movement of your limbs
Find the ghost in your machine
The future carried forward by our fortunes and our whims
The stores lay empty just before the snow
They know more about it than you know
Home is ever yearning to leave town
Rome is ever burning down
