Lyrics:
of decadence
Adopted son of Claudius, claimed he had artistic sense
He spent lavishly on Rome and himself, and when the Great Fire burned
Some cast the blame,
never get out the bounds of bullshit
Bounded by the blue light
Naive as a serpent
Serving others' purpose all the time
Just to earn it
Uh
Fifth Rome
Wommer!
ARTHUR: Go and tell your master that we have been charged by God
with a sacred quest. If he will give us food and shelter for
the night he can
reclining
upon their ivory thrones in the heart of sweltering Rome. Aye, they had gone
too far... After their brutal annexation of our sovereign Iceni lands
had a bit too
Much wine with my gyro
Are you blaming me for all
The problems of medieval Europe?
Roma was devoured by barbarians and Germans
How you pin
couldn't save us all
Where no one would hear us call The river became a wall
What did I do?
We were too few with dreams to pursue
I read your book
And I find it strange
That I know that girl and I know her world
A little too well
And I didn't know
By giving my hand
the forces, proletariat and nobles adoring,
Share the calling, we Augustus, we are Caesar,
Montreal is modern Rome, either you with us or it's treason, ‘coz
to the streets of Rome
Too Damn Hype led by Jeff and the Prince
You're spending dollars and cents
We're spending pounds and pence
And yens and rubels and marks,
rock it? There'll be a doom call
Man, my posse is worldwide known
All the way from Philly to the streets of Rome
Too Damn Hype led by Jeff
Too Damn Hype led by Jeff and the Prince
You're spending dollars and cents
We're spending pounds and pence
And yens and rubels and marks, you think I'm
head into the future
Papal Rome power
Getting stronger by the hour
His wound is healed
His ways to kill within him still
Mind you
Dark ages part two
Seen too much goodness chewed up by money men
If God exists she should make us king
I feel I've been burned
I feel I've been burned
I feel I've been
The sun burned red
Over the rooftops
We used to stare
Countless moments
We haven't done it
For a long, long, long time
So why don't we
tell us how long must we endure
We’ve tolerated too much, we can’t tolerate no more
The state forced them to free us midst the tumult of the war
I don't wanna argue about who is the victim
'Cause maybe we both got burned
I don't wanna talk about who is the traitor
'Cause both of our
the legend too
And believed that the great day will come
War was a constant shadow
Over the land where he abided
One by one, men fell between
The warriors
I don't want to argue about who is the victim
'Cause maybe we both got burned
I don't want to talk about who is the traitor
'Cause both of our
do
There was nothing else they could do
But look out on the world they knew and try to turn that into Rome too.
There was nothing they couldnʼt do
I am calling upon all my monsters and beasts out there
On the glimmering eyes and the silent footsteps in the dark
There are few of us left, soon we
at the scars under your eyes
Burned to hell covered by locusts, they're trying to quote us
now that they finally broke us into ridiculous names and meaningless
Or that Dolce Gabbana with a few gold chains
And you the type of girl that probably deserve a new last name
But, they never let us do our thing
Everybody
saint-like in pure white, he's
Photographed as he walks not only by us
But by everyone else who
Happens to be at the beach
Today young teenagers with iPhones
efforts are negated by the passive observers.

They spend days before the T.V. set so burned out,
Is it any wonder they've lost all sense of vision
