Empire Over

歌詞

Roman legionnaire in this life Pledged to do or die Marching onto battlefields Awaiting the battle cry Campaign after campaign And graced by the God of war Glory for ever more I've died before and I will live again Never knowing just where and when I was there at the beginning And I will be there when it ends A witness to a age gone by My garrison advancing on through another town Leaving only scorched earth The black smoke rising Fueled by an empire Conquerors of the day With forces over extended We fell back gradually For all that we had defended Ended up with our backs against the sea I've died before and I will live again Never knowing just where and when I was there at the beginning And I will be there when it ends A witness to a age gone by Seemed the gods had all left town It's only we the forsaken All the temples falling Fueled by the anger Glory has gone away With forces over extended We fell back gradually For all that we had defended Ended up with our backs against the sea Witness to the fall The empire over Witness to the fall The empire over Witness to the fall The empire over Witness to the fall The empire over As if our final sunset Our guiding light dissolves To see the might fallen After so many years I disappeared into the landscape To become civilian Citizen reappears Witness to the fall The empire over Witness to the fall The empire over Witness to the fall The empire over Witness to the fall
