lyrics

Why
these towers white and wet and cracked walls are still standing
in the middle of the mold and might be crying
cause there's black tears running down the streets of the city

we clearly hear the agony of those dying monsters which are
spitting their guts they are their own infection
yeah the machines are about to fall and we are smiling

Smells of dust of ashes and of rust
we're looking forward
to the last days of Rome

Smells of dust of ashes and of rust
we're looking forward
to the Last Days

Can't wait to jump over the sleep of the giants
cracked jars on the tables
barbarians at the doors
temples on fire

and the masks of the power drowning away
in a petrol like stream yeah
we clearly hear the agony of the last pretenders
lying on top of golden desks with knives in their backs
the castle is about to collapse and we are smiling

Smells of dust of ashes and of rust
we're looking forward
to the last days of Rome

Smells of dust of ashes and of rust
we're looking forward
to the Last Days

And faces around seem to portend the fearful foreseen threat
and straight out of a long loud sigh
a ladder grows high
up where ashes are flying
over a dim brand new light

Smells of dust of ashes and of rust
we're looking forward
to the Last Days
