Roam
Ancient Rome echoes across our land
Wherever you go, she is there before you
Stone brick walls split the land in two
Still standing proud
Soldier’s voices whisper in Latin tongue
Can still be heard
They are here to change our ways of old
Fill our minds with Gods they know
With ancient wode, we will send them back
This land is ours, each brook and track
We failed in flight to set their feet alight
They are here to stay a good long while
Some returned while others remain
They have had their day
Our ways have changed, we have learned a lot
Boudicca’s fight burned through the land
We must rebuild where Roman villas stand
Tourists come to walk alongside the wall
To the hear the echo of long lost calls
It was there I hear all roads lead back to Rome
Bridges built in span of time
I am grateful for the water that still flows
Along viaducts, roman baths, warm waters soothe
How did we cope before they came?
We are bound together by ancient time…
