Fall Like Rome Lyrics

Grendel Fall Like Rome

The jackboots to the conscience
The gas lit mind restrained
Hearts ripped through flesh and bone
'Til all dissent is tamed

Pounding thrusts of rifle stocks
The tear gas in your eyes
Cold grip of mortal fear
'Til everyone is blind

The jackboots to the conscience
The gas lit mind restrained
Hearts ripped through flesh and bone
'Til all dissent is tamed

Reaping thrusts of sharpened scythes
Tears shimmer in our eyes
Like broken glass in darkest nights
Intention masked as lies

[Chorus]
When we finally fall like Rome
How will we find our way back home?
Guided by the fires at night
Let burning bridges light the way
When we finally fall like Rome
How will we find our way back home?
Guided by the fires at night
Let burning bridges light the way

Somewhere between the heart and mind
There lives a savage beast
A part of man to understand
Which one can not defeat

It thrives upon the violence
It severs and it burns
Once it divides and worlds collide
The cycle will return

The jackboots to the conscience
The gas lit mind restrained
Hearts ripped through flesh and bone
'Til all dissent is tamed

Reaping thrusts of sharpened scythes
Tears shimmer in our eyes
Like broken glass in darkest nights
Intention masked as lies

[Chorus]
