Текст песни Roman Stone (Big Big Train) с переводом

Mark out the ground

Lay claim to the land

Level the valleys

Build a bridge across the water

New walls for the city

New roads through the hills

New stories to be written

And legends to be made

Now look upon their works

Under a different sky

Half a world away

Farmers and soldiers

From the fields to the frontline

Return home with new gods

Taken from another

The last day of kings

Broken made whole again

Made stronger with stone

And blood and bone

Now look upon their works

Under a different sky

Half a world away

A wall across the land

Ruins made by giants

Still standing after storms

Sail the rivers and the seas

Cross the mountains and the plains

Explorers and soldiers

Merchants of fire

Bring peace of a kind

An absence of war

Fetching water from the hills

Throwing buildings up to the skies

Make iron for the ploughshares

And weapons of war

Trade new gods for old gods

Make them their own

All things must pass

Dawn down to dusk

All stories have an ending

The first and the last

Eagles taking flight

Carriers of light

Three thousand miles

From the wall to the water

The generals of empire

Bring riches of war

All things must pass

Dawn down to dusk

All stories have an ending

The first and the last

Outside of these walls

Great armies will rise

New orders are born

And cities will fall

Here at the end of all roads

Broken in a scatter of stone

A thousand years have passed

Lights are dimmed and fires burn cold

Time has weathered the walls

As rain is the ruin of snow

Far now from the centre of it all

Distant from the highways and heartlands

An eagle gone to ground

With the better part of mankind

Now shadows that shelter behind

Fifty feet of all

Twelve miles and more

Here were legends born

Here were stories made and told

In one city the whole worlds ends

As a tumbledown of alls

Its stones the bedrock of us all
