about

Following in the footsteps of the fallen Roman Empire, modern western civilization adopted the same corruptible system that will ultimately lead to its own collapse.

lyrics

The legacy of Rome still lives on into the Modern Day
First in militaristic conquest...
And built upon the backs of slaves

Invading foreign lands and then
Wondering why they hate us so much...
How would it be if the tables were turned?
The Founding Fathers adopted
A system already corrupted
So now let's just sit back and watch...

Outward expansion,
Manifest destiny...
"I see land that I want --
This must be what 'God' intends for ME...to own and control.
WE are the chosen ones!
Those other people were weaker...
So this land belongs to us!"

Rome is a beast unleashed in the wild
And Rome is the priest raping your child

Just as all of history shows
We already know how the ending goes
And just as the empires before us

History always repeats itself if you only keep it on a shelf
But the future isn't so hard to predict
