From the recording American Rome
Lyrics and Music written and produced by Scott Callahan
Lyrics
Rome was strong
Rome was great
Built an empire
Sealed its fate
From within
The poison grew
The enemy came
From those we knew
Red flags rise
The truth is sold
Enemies hide
Behind our gold
False prophets preach
The faithful divide
They tear us apart
From deep inside
No more honor
No more pride
The empire bleeds
From deep inside
American Rome
Burning alone
Enemies within
Causing original sin
American Rome
Falling from grace
The enemy wears
A friendly face
Communist dreams
A tyrant's throne
Freedom dies
The seeds are sown
Extremists rise
With hate disguised
They curse the flag
And sell us lies
Who sold the nation
Who sold the dream
Who broke the promise
Who killed the dream
The traitors
Are using fake gunfire
Watch the empire
Catch on permanent fire
American Rome
Burning alone
Enemies within
Causing original sin
American Rome
Falling from grace
The enemy wears
A friendly face
American Rome is falling
American Rome is falling
The walls are breaking
The earth is shaking
No surrender
No retreat
We will never
Accept defeat
American Rome
