Rome

Our empire burned down
You ascended
Up to heaven
Now I'm stuck with half a crown
Ash covered ghost town
I descended
I fell from heaven
And Rome's in pieces now

Someone save us
We're drowning in silence
The rain feels so cold
You still look soft as violets
And I thought I'd be honest
I recall I'd never seen you so quiet
Meet me in the chapel
Do you remember when we were timeless?

Our empire burned down
You ascended
Up to heaven
Now I'm stuck with half a crown
Ash covered ghost town
I descended
I fell from heaven
And Rome's in pieces now

I wrote it all down
You've probably burned it
I know you cried for the first time
I'd never seen you so honest
And I gave you my necklace
I recall your face the night you returned it
Used to pray on my knees
Like you were my devotion

But our empire burned down
You ascended
Up to heaven
Now I'm stuck with half a crown
Ash covered ghost town
I descended
I fell from heaven
And Rome's in pieces now

You liked the concept and the dreams you've had about a love like me
Can't build a city in a day but it can fall down in one heartbeat
Nero just liked the lights and the scene, but he let it burn in peace
He let it burn in peace
We let it burn in peace
Angels burn in peace
Watch Rome burn in peace

Our empire burned down
You ascended
Up to heaven
Now I'm stuck with half a crown
Ash covered ghost town
I descended
I fell from heaven
And Rome's in pieces now

You liked the concept and the dreams you've had about a love like me
Can't build a city in a day but it can fall down in one heartbeat
Nero just liked the lights and the scene, but he let it burn in peace
He let it burn in peace
We let it burn in peace
