They say all roads lead to Rome
But what if we’re going in the other direction?

We’re already in Rome;
The height of technology,
Height of population,
Height of culture.

Only one road leads where I want to go.
I want to get to the place
That took centuries to find,
And take the road
That took the blood of an innocent man,
No- The blood of a perfect man
To pave.

That’s the place I want to go to
That’s the only place worth going.
