Quo Vadis
I walk between dismal ruins
At the end of every day
Theaters and palaces
Destroyed by years of decay
Oh what happened to you?
How could it come this far?
Is Constantine's new God to blame?
The one who does not tolerate
Other Gods next to him
Only their shadows remained
Mighty Rome
Oh Quo Vadis?
The pride of the world for a thousand of years
But now there's just ruins and dust
Mighty Rome
Oh Quo Vadis?
Sanded your walls
Left by the Gods
Only shadows inhabit this tomb
This is your doom
Countless hordes of barbarians
Goths, Ricimers, Vandals
Robbing and murdering
They roamed your streets
Dishonored by former vassals
Oh how could this happen?
Arrogance and decadence
Your hybris led to your downfall
Let this be a warning to all
Kingdoms that will come
What will become of you?
Mighty Rome
Oh Quo Vadis?
The pride of the world for a thousand of years
But now there's just ruins and dust
Mighty Rome
Oh Quo Vadis?
Sanded your walls
Left by the Gods
Only shadows inhabit this tomb
This is your doom
"And that was the end of the story
Rome ruled for a thousand years
But in the end
Wealth and glory were transitory
The eagle sank in the dust of the ruins
From those ashes rose new empires
That held Rome
In their hearts"
At the end of every day
Theaters and palaces
Destroyed by years of decay
Oh what happened to you?
How could it come this far?
Is Constantine's new God to blame?
The one who does not tolerate
Other Gods next to him
Only their shadows remained
Mighty Rome
Oh Quo Vadis?
The pride of the world for a thousand of years
But now there's just ruins and dust
Mighty Rome
Oh Quo Vadis?
Sanded your walls
Left by the Gods
Only shadows inhabit this tomb
This is your doom
Countless hordes of barbarians
Goths, Ricimers, Vandals
Robbing and murdering
They roamed your streets
Dishonored by former vassals
Oh how could this happen?
Arrogance and decadence
Your hybris led to your downfall
Let this be a warning to all
Kingdoms that will come
What will become of you?
Mighty Rome
Oh Quo Vadis?
The pride of the world for a thousand of years
But now there's just ruins and dust
Mighty Rome
Oh Quo Vadis?
Sanded your walls
Left by the Gods
Only shadows inhabit this tomb
This is your doom
"And that was the end of the story
Rome ruled for a thousand years
But in the end
Wealth and glory were transitory
The eagle sank in the dust of the ruins
From those ashes rose new empires
That held Rome
In their hearts"
