Rome - Bread and Wine lyrics
[Rome - Bread and Wine lyrics]
Say we're here to reclaim our past
Though we knew it couldn't last
A pathethic attempt to fashion this place
To our own, alien ways
Say we're here to watch our homes
Be buried by a hail of stones assume it all
And let's drink to our fall
So friends, let us drink to this
Memory so fine
For not all is lost when there is still
Bread and wine
Oh friends, let us drink to this
Memory so fine
For not all is lost when there is still
Bread and wine
Then we slip back i am I, you are you
And the life we knew, we loved so much
Is here, unblemished, untouched
And waiting for that hail of stones
We'll meet our fate at home
As men turn to mice
With the closing of the vice
Oh friends, let us drink to this
Memory so fine
For not all is lost when there is still
Bread and wine
Oh friends, let us drink to this
Memory so fine
For not all is lost when there is still
Bread and wine
Oh, how we'll miss your green and gold
The tinkling of your streams
The majesty of your storms
The sounds of your evening doves
Oh friends, let us drink to this
Your harvest sun warm on our skin
Memory so fine the scent of your hot cotton
For not all is lost when there is still
Your leopards in the sun bread and wine
Your leopards in the sun
Oh friends, let us drink to this
Memory so fine
For not all is lost when there is still
Bread and wine
