Arch of Titus

The Arch of Titus, built by the Romans, is one of Rome's tourist attractions. It commemorates the siege and conquest of Jerusalem in 70 AD by the general Titus – who would later become Roman Emperor – following a Jewish uprising against the Roman occupiers.

    I memorized 

    This place full of trees and sunny gardens

    Now I can’t look 

    When it’s turning into a desolate country 

    All the trees must be cut down 

    And our city will turn into ash


    No stranger noticed 

    Beauty that we saw in every corner 

    Cry over the lost 

    And bow down in front of mourners 

    I am walking through the the desert which

    Once was a place where people felt safe


    Such a great change 

    War buried our names 

    Man to a man 

    Is an enemy today

    No beauty is left 

    Our goods went to waste 

    There’s no return 

    To the better past days


    Ninety seven thousand 

    People closed in cages 

    Ninety seven thousand

    They turned us into beasts 

    Ninety seven thousand 

    Forced to kill with cold blood 

    Ninety seven thousand


    They destroyed our city 

    They blasted the temple 

    They disrespected the place where the light live

    We have nothing
