[Latin Secret incatations]
[Intro]
(Calm, narrative voice)
From the seven hills, the empire rose
Legions marched, conquering foes
But shadows gathered from the north
Barbarians at the gates, ready for war...
[Verse 1]
Overstretched borders, gold running dry
Corruption in the Senate, emperors die
Divided in two, East and West apart
Inflation and taxes tearing hearts
Huns from the steppes drive the tribes to flee
Goths cross the Rhine, no mercy they see
[Pre-Chorus]
Alaric leads the Visigoths bold
Through the gates in 410, the story unfolds
[Chorus]
Eternal City falls!
Flames in the night, the legions call
Sack of Rome, the end begins
Barbarians rush, the darkness wins
Eternal City falls!
From glory to dust, hear the walls
Crashing down, the empire dies
In blood and fire, under darkened skies
[Verse 2]
Vandals from Africa sail to the shore
In 455, they plunder once more
Weak emperors hide, mercenaries fight
Odoacer rises in the dead of night
Romulus Augustulus, last of the line
Deposed in 476, end of time
[Pre-Chorus]
Climate turns cold, plagues spread the fear
The mighty Rome crumbles year by year
[Chorus]
Eternal City falls!
Flames in the night, the legions call
Sack of Rome, the end begins
Barbarians rush, the darkness wins
Eternal City falls!
From glory to dust, hear the walls
Crashing down, the empire dies
In blood and fire, under darkened skies
[Bridge]
Once masters of the world, aqueducts and roads
Now ruins in the fields where the wild wind blows
The light of civilization fades away
But echoes of the legions remain to this day...
[Final Chorus]
Eternal City falls! (Falls!)
The Western Empire lost to all
No more the eagle flies so high
Rome burns tonight, hear the battle cry!
Eternal City falls!
[Outro]
From the ashes, new worlds will rise...
But Rome... is gone.
