Parade Rest - New Rome Lyrics

Open the gate
Enter the realm of the true central hate
Soldiers draw blood, you're distracted by the games
By the fame
By an empire of citizens enslaved, enraged
Now you're an enemy of the state
Live out the dream, our frontlines dominate
Dilate the eyes of one who wears the crown
The face that will see pillars crumbling down
When the pendulum comes back around

New Rome, the empire
New Rome, the new empire

The preases, the Caesar
The new Roman Leader
The emperor, deceiver
Democracy bleeder
The powers that be pull the strings
Pull the veil over the eyes of the weak, the meek
The ones whose currency paves the streets
Lead with a fist and a soul incomplete, compete
Superiority makes the man
Survival is based on one simple plan
Spill all their blood in the sand
This is

New Rome, the empire
New Rome, the new empire
But it'll all be fine as long as you stay entertained

But it'll all be fine as long as you stay entertained
Just sit back and watch history repeat itself

The arena is still the sand
Still the place we make a man go to die for the man
And those about to perish must salute those
That script the narrative and watch their people get ghosted

New Rome, the empire
New Rome, the new empire
But it'll all be fine as long as you stay entertained
