Rome wasn't burnt in a day.
Took a lot of time for the bricks to be razed
Rome wasn't burnt in an afternoon
Took [?] and God knows who
See everybody had a turn
To make Rome burn
But these Romans, they never learn
It's time to take a match man,
It's time to return, I said
Rome wasn't burnt in a day, yeah
Rome wasn't burnt in a day, yeah
Come on
Rome wasn't burnt in a day, no
And not in an hour
Yeah, that's what they say
We gotta burn it down now, oh
But everybody said, man you're crazy
You're never gonna burn Rome
All you got is fire
That city's made of marble and stone
Caesar and his details they're so strong
Rome has been a city, for so long
You weren't scared, you didn't care
You weren't scared, you kept on banging on that door, yeah
You kept on banging on that door now
You kept on banging on that door
Until the city was no more
So next time you feel like giving in
Next time, you feel you can't do it again
Next time you think, that it's all too much
Next time you feel, ugh, I've had enough
Just remember what they said
Rome wasn't burnt in a day,
Wasn't burnt in a day
Rome wasn't burnt in a day
Come on
Wasn't burnt in a day, no
Yes that's what they say
Not in an afternoon
Yeah, that's what they say
We gotta burn it down now, oh
Rome wasn't burnt in a day,
Wasn't burnt in a day
Rome wasn't burnt in a day
