Fall Of Rome

(album: Acid Reign - 2013)

My dear friends, Romans, countrymen
Let me get your eardrums and the mind's inside the head they're in
Everything in life moves in cycles like the passing seasons
So there's never nothing new under the God made sun just for that very reason
So take that word, cause what you heard is worth a thousand words
You can put it in your mind's back door then blow that dro slow, let it churn
Like the world can't crash and burn...
Like it's never gonna be our turn...
Talking about giving a whole new meaning to the old school phrase "You live, you learn"
Cause we keep living like we're in control
Like it's a given that it can't explode...
Heads high like the day before the fall of Rome

Empires rise
Empires fall
There's division inside of these walls
I'm dressed for the ball and I'm ready for the fall of Rome
Cause kings thrive and kings die
Ain't no escaping the circle of life
I'm praying for the best but I'm waiting for the fall of Rome

Open up your brain homez, this shit's no mystery...
Man stays so obsessed to progress, always thinking he's above his history
Like a fly in the worldwide web, spoon-fed by our technology...
Keep it real cause, you don't even know nobody that could make it in the 19th century
So what happens when circuit breaks and worlds collide with lightening forces?
We gotta go back to riding horses and trade in cash for natural resources...
No GPS, you gotta look to the stars
But you don't even know where the north stars are...
Looking back on the fact we done got so far
Keeps reminding me we could never find our start
Cause we're so stubborn, thinking we're in control
Like a government ain't fallen before...
Heads high like the day before the fall of Rome

Empires rise
Empires fall
There's division inside of these walls
I'm dressed for the ball and I'm ready for the fall of Rome
Cause kings thrive and kings die
Ain't no escaping the circle of life
I'm praying for the best but I'm waiting for the fall of Rome

Like a walk along wire in a royal stance
Just a foot behind a vagabond that wants to dance...
You know you're both going down in the end
Like a bullet down the barrel of tomorrow's gun
History shows there's nothing new under the setting sun
Sooner or later it's gonna go down again
But we're so happy thinking we're in control
Like the world that we know ain't never gon' fold...
Heads high like the day before the fall of Rome

Empires rise
Empires fall
There's division inside of these walls
I'm dressed for the ball and I'm ready for the fall of Rome
Cause kings thrive and kings die
Ain't no escaping the circle of life
I'm praying for the best but I'm waiting for the fall of Rome
