Recorded at Colos-Saal, Aschaffenburg, Germany, June 27, 2003

lyrics

Caesar saw it in a dream
All those many years ago
Great is the fall
With rocks and stones they built it up
Towering castles in the sky
Imperial walls

Shaking the stones from the earth

Rome is burning
The whole world is turning
Don’t know if I will survive
Rome is burning
History is learning
What goes up won’t come down alive

Nero played on as it burned
Like a million fireflies
Lighting the night
A minuet before the fall
Underneath an ashen sky
In crimson twilight

Shaking the stones from the earth

Rome is burning
The whole world is turning
Don’t know if I will survive
Rome is burning
History is learning
What goes up won’t come down alive

Don’t turn around
Keep your eyes upon the road
Hear the deafening sound
Where the river meets the sea
One more down
All the castles turn to sand
Never to be found

A thousand years have come and gone
Aged as the time gone by
Remember it all
It echoes in the ocean still
Memories of better times
Before the fall

Shaking the stones from the earth

Rome is burning ...
