Where Are the Romans
Where are the Romans
Why are they not marching strong
Are they lost in pages of history bygone
Are they wrapped and hidden in mystery and song
Where are the Romans
There are new empires to build
There are new legends to tell
There are our senses to thrill
Where are the Romans
Foundations braced by law
Beauty the eyes enthrall
Great marble columns to fall
Where are the Romans
Decadence we need to feed
Wealth in love of greed
Might will set you free
Where are the Romans
Did they slowly disappear
Did the barbarians sweep them in fear
Did the riches dissolve into arrears
Where are the Romans
Empire of the West
Civilization at it's best
Standing the time of test
Where are the Romans
We need bridges and roads
We need entertainment of colossal shows
We need to believe in gods and heros
The Romans are here
In dreams in love in desire
In reaching within but higher
A farm boy plows the earth and ignites the world afire
