Fall Like Rome - Grendel

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 is masked as lies

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 is masked as lies
