Chorus:
G         F#/G
Meanwhile Rome burns
Em        D
Meanwhile Rome burns

Verse 1:
G              
Its a cultural shift
F#/G
its the North Atlantic Drift
Em
Americana 
C
And rule Britannia
        G            F#/G
and the moon, yes we own that to
    Em
And where the Euphrates
C
meets the other rivers
           G
is now the home
       F#/G
of the devil and the liar
Em              
And the pyre we plan to make
C                             G  F#/G Em C
Is just the drift leaving its wake, home

Chorus

Verse 2:
And the films you want to watch
And the films you want to make
And the kids, like lost angels
dressed in black sensations

And the shift, won’t shake
And the drift, won’t break
with billions of Diamonds
growing like colours
and the drift owns the coffers
