The Fall of Rome

by Leadfinger

supported by

Trevor Ramsay Bigger than Ben Hur this one. Takes time to digest, sprawling tragedy that it is. People say they don't regret having done what they've done, and perhaps for some that's true. Doesn't ring quite true to me, reflecting on my life. Stewie's clearly reflecting on his here. Resonates with me. Misery loves company, right? Maudlin sentiment aside it's a poignant listen. Introspection is the theme for the coming album I feel.

lyrics

The Fall of Rome by Leadfinger
(lyrics by Stewart Cunningham 2020)

I close my eyes and dream of the glory of Rome
And I can see the fallen ruins of my life
The love we made echoes on through the pantheon
Reflected in the moon above, it lives on for years to come

You can still see the faded glory of Rome
It’s legends echo on, reflecting in your eyes my love
If you close your eyes you will see my time has come
But our love will live on in the tears of our young

I’ve seen the fall of Rome
It lies in ruins now
That’s how I am today
Now that you’ve had your way

I have seen the fall of Rome
I have dreamed the fall
Have you seen the fall of Rome

The lonely beauty of this world echoes on
Although to some it’s only fallen ruins and broken cups
The love we made carries on long after we give up
Reflecting in the moon above for years to come

Just like the fall of Rome
Our love it will live on
Even though I’ve come and gone
We live for years to come
Our love it will live on.
Just like the ruins of Rome
In your heart I will live on
In your hearts I will live on
