Where's the Fire? Lyrics

there is a red pigment in the sky
what burns on the horizon?
return to charred buildings;
off white pillars
now are cracked and black

haunting memories
of a wife saying to me
"I hope i die
before this beauty fades"
haunting memories
they have new meaning to me
"I hope i die before this beauty fades"

"No this cant be how rome ends!"
And when it does
it will capture all your flaws
in eternity

"Am i that delusional
that you can see it in my eyes?
are they burning red
like rome's burning skies?"

"No this cant be how rome ends!"
And when it does
it will capture all your flaws
in eternity

"I MUST BE A GOD....
I KILL...
I DESTROY...
I STEAL...
AND NOTHING HAPPENS TO ME...
NOTHING HAPPENS TO ME..."

NOTHING

"No this cant be how rome ends!"
(no it can't, no it can't)
And when it does
it will capture all your flaws
in eternity
eternity
