I've had the metaphor "'Til they tear the last brick loose from the Appian Way" in my head for a long time. The Appian Way is a road built over 2000 years ago connecting Rome with a few other key cities. Parts of it are still in use today. It's my way of saying "forever."

All roads lead to Rome Except the one you're on That one leads you nowhere If you travel all alone But if you walk by my side Then hand in hand we'll stay "Til the tear the last brick loose From the Appian Way Oceans rise and fall Mountains come and go Somehow through it all Love will see us through Cities built to last Can crumble in an hour The earth can shake beneath them Consuming every lofty tower If we hold each other close There's no need to feel afraid 'Til they tear the last brick loose From the Appian Way (Chorus) Dissolve the hands of time And all the chains that bind And you and I can wander And who knows what we'll find Beyond our limitations Forever and a day 'Til they tear the last brick loose From the Appian Way x
