You didn't question all your motives
When you thought that this was highly beneficial for me
You then in turn began to think that it was cute
To rub my face in all these made up stories

Roman Empire is what you are
Roman Empire is who you are
You're an Empire
Darkest of Empires
The Roman Empire

You're building cities on the backs of all the people
Working hard to build a home with memories
This moral ground you think you own is frankly dangerous
When you're ripping kids away from what they need

Roman Empire is what you are
Roman Empire is who you are
You're an Empire
Darkest of Empires
The Roman Empire
Roman Empire is what you are
Roman Empire is who you are
You're an Empire
Darkest of Empires
The Roman Empire

What if God's not real
And everything we are
Is just a moment here
Where we're only growing older
What if God is real
And everything I've done
Pushed me down this path
And it's only growing colder?

Roman Empire is what you are
Roman Empire is who you are
You're an Empire
Darkest of Empires
The Roman Empire
Roman Empire is what you are
Roman Empire is who you are
You're an Empire

Where we're only growing older
What if God is real
And everything I've done
Pushed me down this path
