lyrics

Don't stop believing in me, baby
Rome is on the edge of the flames. History
Green on red like blood in a Tuscan field
Your eyes slice me. My guts spill out. Full reveal

If we had only gone north to Florence
You keep using works like divorce. Nonsense
Red on green. Hush, don't make a scene
Just have it all. My heart, liver and spleen

Think before you kill this all
Rome doesn't always have to fall

(Think before you jump)
(Think before you jump)
(Think before you jump)

My family is dropping like flies yearly
You're all I have until I die, darling
Red, blue, green like stars up on the screen
Just kiss me while the strings soar triumphantly

Think before you kill this all
Rome doesn't always have to fall

The years go by so fast
Our clock goes tick tick tick tick

Think before you kill this all
Rome doesn't always have to fall

Think before you kill this all
Rome doesn't always have to fall

We have finished recording our debut album, set to release at the very. very beginning of 2021. Stay safe! ... more
