I'm a fountain missing water, like a city without pillars
A white rose without its petals, only thorns
My empire slowly melting, my own world almost colliding

My heart naked on its side and feeling worn

I rise and fall, falling like Rome

Tumbling like a rolling stone
Turning into ashes, burnt and gone


I rise and fall, falling like Rome
Fighting through a battle lost
Holding back the tears that are cost

I fall like Rome
(I fall like Rome)


I'm a ruler with no kingdom, with no power on emotions
Ruling over empty heartbeats, yours and mine
When the fire keeps on falling, when my hope is quickly sinking

And the power of true love ain't worth a dime

I rise and fall, falling like Rome

Fighting through a battle lost
Holding back the tears that are cost
I fall like Rome


I don't wanna fall, don't wanna fall
Don't wanna fall from where I stand

Don't wanna fall, don't wanna fall
Don't wanna fall? I don't wanna fall


I rise and fall, falling like Rome
Tumbling like a rolling stone
Turning into ashes, burnt and gone


I rise and fall?
Fighting through a battle lost

Holding back the tears that are cost
I fall like Rome


I fall like Rome
