The Diving Bell - Holy Roman Empire lyrics

It was the Holy Roman Empire’s final afternoon The waning Caesar leaned against his golden throne He saw the seven hills and seven seas and Issued one final decree A survey given all of Rome I hope you’ve enjoyed your time here Please rate it on a scale of one to five here Five is highest, so you’ll please say five here Please say five, please say five Please say five for me The Visigoths, in stupid uniforms, lined up at the gates They were just violent, no refinement or good taste That’s when Caesar wept, ‘cause Caesar knew Sometimes that’s all you can do For the hour was getting late We’re fading like the Holy Roman Empire I wish I would have held you closer I wish I’d kept more so I could remember Remember you, remember you Please remember me Bridge We were glorious, powerful We were fortunate, beautiful We were fearless and invincible We were careless and corruptible What we had was lost in fire Like the Holy Roman Empire A star was shining over Bethlehem and everybody’s bags and mules Were packed and they were bound for Christendom Caesar tried to take the high road so He said, ‘That’s cool, you’re moving on— But hell if we didn’t have some times! ' Now sing for Rome
