hellion, hedonist, this wilderness is my rome
pleasure and beauty, tools of duty, the great beasts' death-roll moan
self-righteous, epicureans, the unrighteous, we march, hard as stones
grease stick make-up, relationships made up, growing up on our own
fake hair sprayed up, spread legs laid up, hemorrhaging it all out alone
nothing is free and we spend every dollar
hollow and wasted we chain our own collars
hardened, abused, neglected, rejecting all things inspired
we burn up dancing closer and closer to the heat of the beasts white fire
in our youth
we are the romans
and this is our empire
