Roman Graffiti

little boys playing in the clay road
picking up turtles that fly in the wind
run, run away from the scary old widowers
or you might never be a boy again!

	we can only be boys for a little longer
	so let’s take our cheer and carry it on
	as the great warrior Atreus did 
	when he gave his life for victory

	we’re in Rome, with Kalsus and Andeus
	and all of our friends from the east and the west
	we are here, with this one chance to say
	“we are here, we cheer, to hoping the words here last”
	
	for we are the last of our kind to be here
	and we don’t know what comes after
	but we don’t give in to fear
	and we hope to give you laughter
	forever and ever
	
		we are the sons of a generation 
	that will never be seen again
		so laugh until the bitter end
			hold the name of the Empire
					in the hearts of all who hear
				and remember, always remember!
					Nothing comes from nothing!
						So we will never die!
