Wir Götter der Stadt - Rome

A submission so sweet

A silent pact sealed

And it was in its shade

That I buried myself

Trembling like a thief

Nothing concealed

Not my hideous shame

Not the angst I felt

We are all weeping

'Cause we can’t undo the lie

Not with a word

Not with the blink of an eye

We are all weeping

'Cause we can’t break away

Not without getting hurt

Not without leading astray

I’ll state my case

I won’t go down

You’ve lost your face

Now you’re after mine

Are you turning time

Over to lies?

Over to lies

Swear never to frown

Upon the things we left

Behind

Now and again

These walls are shaking

Now and again

These walls are breaking

Now and again

These walls are breaking us in two

We are waving stealthy goodbyes

For we know we have failed you

You would not ever break the ties

Nor the code, now‚ would you?

We are waving stealthy goodbyes

For we know we have failed you

You would not ever break the ties

Nor the code‚ now‚ would you?

I’ll rest my case

I won’t go down

You’ve lost your face

Now you’re turning on mine

Are you handing time

Over to lies?

Over to lies

Swear never to drown

The things we love

They’re all gone

For we left those things behind

Would you embrace

What is left to me?

Ever embrace what is left to be?

Would you embrace

What is left of me now?
