Roman Empire

[verse] He thinks he has a problem She thinks too much About everything It's no Roman Empire Only and echo fading Ripping away at that thing Fabric of society breaking While she still sings Setting alight My Roman Empire (pre-chorus) I'm not getting the joke It's the joke I'm not getting [chorus] No Roman Empire Not even on the grid In this faceless quagmire Spot-fires a catalyst Marching forward, forward marching Have you had enough of this And, if you think someone is watching Get over it It's not happening This holy ground is vacant It's just burning It's burning [verse] Whiling away the hours Could be doing almost anything I could be Lighting flamethrowers Call-out the guard While the people all sing About watching it burning In the summer of love The summer of love Can't you see the contradiction He thinks he has a problem She can't think about anything Rage and torment On the streets Here we go, let's go, let's go Roman Empire all-a glow [pre-chorus] I'm not getting the joke It's the joke I'm not getting [chorus] No Roman Empire Not even on the grid In this faceless quagmire Spot-fires a catalyst Marching forward, forward marching Have you had enough of this And, if you think someone is watching Get over it It's not happening This holy ground is vacant It's just burning It's burning [outro] Among the scattered flowers In the embers of longer hours There stood three soldiers On holy ground Now growing mistletoe Onward marching Marching onward Have we learned nothing And Was it so long ago Roman Empire all-a glow
