Nero's Decay
Alesana

our empire has fallen

the columns came crashing down

faster that children could outrun the shadows

drunk with hysteria the survivors are running for their lives

as precious dreams erupt before their very eyes


tonight, it's over...at long last we will fall

ruins will fight in our stead


my flesh is burning from the embers

but still the brilliant tale of our utopia survives

tonight her beautiful exterior may crash and burn to ash

but the fight for her honor will rage on

I hope I never see the end

I hope I never have to live without her comfort

but for now she dies... oh Rome! so full of majesty, you're gone...


wind chokes on the ashes as acrid smoke strangles the sun

their jealous arrows ran, hollow drums pound at the gates

breaking the din of screams

our feeble offerings to forgotten Gods are left to rot in temples of their lust

as they lay forth their plans to destroy our pride, our home


tonight, it's over...at long last we will fall

ruins will fight in our stead


my flesh is burning from the embers

but still the brilliant tale of our utopia survives

tonight her beautiful exterior may crash and burn to ash

but the fight for her honor will rage on

I hope I never see the end

I hope I never have to live without her comfort

but for now she dies... oh Rome! so full of majesty, you're gone...

...beg the flames for our mercy...

these aged walls have seen too much

to forget the past in the face of this final trial

watch her crumble so true as mayhem cuts her down

let them have our treasure, her voice lives on

let them take our city for her splendor lives on


...at long last we will fall...
