Romulus and Remus

I was in the dark, with woods all around
Looking all around, hey, what was that sound?
Brother by my side, will we make it home?
I have never felt so scared and alone

We were on our way to wonderful things
They said we were to grow up to be kings
How could we have been so far off the mark?
Glowing pair of eyes emerge from the dark

No one could have guessed that we would survive
She's the only one that kept us alive
Raised by wolves, we're here on our own
Brothers right down to the bone

Our paths divided
But brother you know
All roads lead to Rome
Our fates collided
If mountains crumble
Why must this be set in stone?

You were in the dark with guards all around
Hidden from the light and kept underground
Brother by my side, they came in the night
But pretty soon they'd find the wolf had a bite

We were on our way to tear down the gates
There's no king who can keep us from our fate
Turns out he's the one that left us to die
Howling through the night, he'll hear the war cry

No one could have guessed that we would prevail
Catch him by surprise and we'll tip the scale
Tyrants will live and die by the sword
But, brother, the throne is restored!

Our paths divided
But brother you know
All roads lead to Rome
Our fates collided
If mountains crumble
Why must this be set in stone?

We were in a place with hills all around
Looking for a land, a city to found
Brother by my side, it's only the start
I had never thought we'd drift apart

We were on our way to wonderful things
Fame and power and the glory it brings
How could we have known it comes at a price
All the greatest dreams call for sacrifice

No one could have guessed what fate had in store
Rome would rise above all the ones before
I had always thought that glory was ours
But brother I can't change the stars

Our paths divided
But brother you know
All roads lead to Rome
Our fates collided
If mountains crumble
Why must this be set in stone?
