[Intro] Down below… Where the light dies… [Verse 1] Under the marble, under the noise Lies the old city in the dark Stone corridors, damp air Something breathes here that never sleeps Footsteps echo, centuries old Blood in the cracks, names erased The saints stay silent, the walls do not Here rules what stays hidden above [Chorus] In the catacombs of Rome Where the evil reigns In the catacombs of Rome Where the evil reigns It wears no face It needs no throne It only waits And it takes what comes [Verse 2] Tourists walk above in the light Taking pictures of what they’re allowed to see Down below no candle burns anymore Only the breath of what no one names Old crosses, broken bones New shoes on ancient stone Who goes too deep comes back different Or doesn’t come back at all [Chorus] In the catacombs of Rome Where the evil reigns In the catacombs of Rome Where the evil reigns It wears no face It needs no throne It only waits And it takes what comes [Bridge] No prayer reaches down here No money buys the way out The city above laughs and dances While down below the debt keeps growing Do you hear that dripping? That’s not water. That’s time still breathing here. [Chorus] In the catacombs of Rome Where the evil reigns In the catacombs of Rome Where the evil reigns It wears no face It needs no throne It only waits And it takes what comes …what comes …what comes [Outro] [blues riff fading, deep kick remains] Down below… Where the light dies… And something waits. [Massive Fade out]
