Mark Antony and Me

The Glory of Rome
Turns the knife to his throat
In the eyes of the people
He dies a joke
Triumvir of the East
Falls to his knees
And into the leash
Of a wicked Queen
He who once walked so tall
Now crawls
Held the world in his hands
But let it fall
For the sorceress of the Nile Delta
He just couldn't help it
He just couldn't help himself
Mark Antony and me will both go down in history
As love's most tragic fools
Cleopatra's favorite tools
I'd give up all of Rome,
And run far from home,
Just to bleed to death
On a foreign throne
Oh, love's most tragic fools
Are Cleopatra's favorite tools
You go first my love
I will be right behind you
I promise
You gotta learn your history
Or you'll repeat it
And I've been doing my reading
But when she says, "Jump"
I say, "How high?"
Cause I just can't help it
I just can't help myself
Mark Antony and me will
Go down in history
As love's most tragic fools
I'd give up all of Rome
I'd run far from home
Just to bleed to death
On a desert floor
Oh love's most tragic fools
Are Cleopatra's favorite tools
Mark Antony and me will
Both go down in History
As love's most tragic fools
Cleopatra's favorite tools
I'd give up all of Rome,
And run far from home,
Just to bleed to death
On a foreign throne
Oh, love's most tragic fools
Make Cleopatra's favorite tools
Mark Antony and me will
Go down in history
As love's most tragic fools
Mark Antony
Mark Antony and me will
Go down-down-down

Caesar Wept
03:23

Another masterpiece
From such a brilliant mind
The gold that is his
Only serves to remind me
Of the trash that's mine
And when I begin to ask myself,
"Why?"
And
"Who am I to even try?"
I like to remind myself
Of the story I heard
About a tall statue
In a provincial town
The ambitious young man
Who stood on the ground
To look up at him
He felt so small
Beneath the glory
Beneath the grandeur
When he looked at Alexander
Even Caesar wept
Great men have stood here before
Even 2,000 years ago
And there's no promises
There is no guarantee
But it's happened before
In history
And you could be just like them
You in your podunk town
Even Caesars before you
Stood on the ground
To look up at him
He felt so small
Beneath the glory
Beneath the grandeur
When he looked at Alexander
Even Caesar wept
To compare himself to the man they call The Great
To think his time had come and gone
And that he'd been too late
Yes, even Caesar wept
To compare himself to the greats
The man they called
The Great
He looked up at him
He felt so small
Beneath the glory
Beneath the grandeur
He looked up at him
And he felt so small
Beneath the glory
Beneath the Grandeur
Even Caesar wept
