Remember the Romans Songtext
von Diesel

A rose slightly stolen
means blood on a thorn
a clear evening sky
and a cold frosty morn′
the trash in the alley
shows for food on a disk
a sudsy detergent
and thousands of fish
doing the backstroke in the lake

How sturdy the baby
how painful the birth
the gas in your Buicks
leaving holes in the earth
you can't be successfull, without being mean
and the West can′t be wealthy
without human beings
starving to death far in the East


The higher you climb
the harder you'll fall
your tangible riches mean nothing at all

Remember the Romans, remember the Greeks
ignoring the omens, or signs so to speak
and if you don't listen, then be on your guard
′cause it might seem so pretty
the truth will be hard, when you get what you deserve

The higher you climb
the harder you′ll fall
your tangible riches mean nothing at all

tussenspel

The higher you climb
the harder you'll fall
your tangible riches mean nothing at all

Remember the Romans, remember the Greeks
ignoring the omens, or signs so to speak
and if you won′t listen
then be on your guard
'cause it might seem so pretty
the truth will be hard
when you get what you deserve
