Rude Awakening The Fallen Empire lyrics

And what is it that kept our empire together?
Our strength, our might
Equality, freedom, peace

Behind him and his people are the Vandals
Untold millions of them
Waiting for a moment of weakness, ready to destroy us
If we take these barbarians in amongst us
Our enemies will say is it because we are weak
Then they will pour in on us from everywhere
It will be the end of the Roman Empire
Will be the

How does an empire die?
Does it collapse in one terrible moment?
No, no
But there comes a time when its people no longer believe in it
Then, then does an empire begin to die

I cannot let you destroy the empire

And you will make chaos


- I cannot let you destroy the empire
- Cannot? [2x]
If you cannot then take your army back to Rome
Let us make our own destiny here.
- And let rebellion go on unpunished?
- I am part of this rebellion!

There are millions like them waiting at our gates
If we do not open these gates
They will break them down and destroy us
But instead, let us grow ever bigger, ever greater
Let us take them among us

- And let rebellion go on unpunished?
- I am part of this rebellion!

The law of life is grow or die
It is through you that the people speak
Speak up! Let the world hear you
Let the world know that we'll not die [2x]
