Post-Roman Runes (Walk That Mile)

Liner Notes

#acoustic #folkrock
Karma on a grand scale, a scale so large that everyone can see it. This story draws parallels between Atlantis, Rome, and the present.

Lyrics

Do you remember
Another lifetime
When we lived in Rome
We were slaves
I do believe
But we had a home
The Atlantean script
Was destroyed
So we learned the Roman one
They changed it
Across the centuries
But that’s how it’s always done

Now I’ll walk that mile at midnight
I’ll walk that mile in the gloom
No one understands a word I write
In post-Roman runes
Post-Roman runes

Rome went down
In a weekend
Every building burned
Atlantis drowned
In the very first wave
Both got what they deserved
No justice
No protection
No shelter from the rain
Don’t look to me
To stop it
Now it’s happening again

Now I’ll walk that mile at midnight
I’ll walk that mile in the gloom
No one understands a word I write
In post-Roman runes
Post-Roman runes

I must have helped
Train the robots
That hear our every word
And you
To guide them to
All the people that they heard
Now there’s no one
Left to hear you
Unless you sing a happy song
And when it all goes dead
Very few
Will understand where it went wrong

Now I’ll walk that mile at midnight
I’ll walk that mile in the gloom
No one understands a word I write
In post-Roman runes
Post-Roman runes
