Dressed to kill but still feeling naked
Black tie, white tie, and faking your smile
Walking the streets of the ancient city
It only took an hour to burn it to the ground
Now watch your move before you enter the void
The concrete will swallow your heart and soul
Get lost in the vacuum of space and time
Watch the Roman soldiers in the neon light
And the city becomes your mind
And your mind becomes the city
And the city is burning down
And your mind becomes a ruin
And the Gods left ages ago
They won’t hear you calling
Ruin after ruin, they built the city
A labyrinth for your soul to lose its way
It’s a ghost town and your mind is on fire
You’re ready to fall down just like the Roman Empire
A million souls in a million cars
Stuck in the traffic for a million years
The joke is on you with your head on fire
Lost in the echo of a fallen empire
And the city becomes your mind
And your mind becomes the city
And the city is burning down
And your mind becomes a ruin
And the Gods left ages ago
They won’t hear you calling
