Lyrics

[INTRO]
In the shadows of Rome, where the mighty roam
Lives a soul so fragile, a heart that's made of stone
Cullinarius, a name that's whispered with disdain
A concubine with a dream, but a life that's all in vain

[VERSE 1]
He dreams of fists flying, of battles won and lost
Of being a street fighter, with a heart that's frost
But when he looks in the mirror, a pathetic sight he sees
A weak and feeble creature, with a future on his knees

[CHORUS]
Oh Cullinarius, a life so sad and grey
A useless soul, with nothing to say
He's a whisper in the wind, a leaf that's blown away
A fragile heart, that's broken every day

[VERSE 2]
Old ladies pass him by, with a glance of disdain
Their walk is stronger, than his feeble refrain
He wishes he could stand, with a backbone made of steel
But his spine is weak, and his will is brittle and frail

[CHORUS]
Oh Cullinarius, a life so sad and grey
A useless soul, with nothing to say
He's a whisper in the wind, a leaf that's blown away
A fragile heart, that's broken every day

[BRIDGE]
Maybe in his dreams, he's a warrior true
But when he wakes, he's still a concubine, through and through
A life of servitude, with no escape in sight
A soul trapped in a body, that's weak and losing the fight

[HOOK]
Cullinarius, Cullinarius, a name that's hard to say
A life that's fading away, with each passing day

[VERSE 3]
Everyone around him, is too kind to his face
But behind his back, they whisper, and turn away
No one wants to hurt him, but no one wants to stay
A pathetic soul, with a life that's fading away

[CHORUS]
Oh Cullinarius, a life so sad and grey
A useless soul, with nothing to say
He's a whisper in the wind, a leaf that's blown away
A fragile heart, that's broken every day

[OUTRO]
In the shadows of Rome, where the mighty roam
Lives Cullinarius, a soul that's lost its way back home.
