On May 29, 1453, it was Sultan Mehmed II of the Ottoman Empire that ended the Byzantine Empire. The Ottomans breached Constantinople’s ancient land wall after besieging the city for 55 days. The anthem begins at Pulchras.

Firmly I pledge Firme nunc me spondeo
my loyalty to thee   Fidelis tibi maneo
Land of my Forefathers Bella priorum cara patria
forever brimming with glory   Nunc et semper florens gloria
A land of beauty   Pulchras terrae patriae
home of the courageous Fortes terrae pro homines
Our Eternal Rome Romae noster aeternae
the might of enemy ships   Vis cavire domum navium
Threatens us in vain Frustra ipsa impetur
it is a hopeless quest Sunt sine spe
Turn away from deceit Domus dulces portula
and sweet delusions   Fraudi ob sat
For the trumpets of War   Tubae militares vox
will call our Legions soon   Legionus procat mox
And across the fatherland Et in tota patria
a victory song will ring Cantus nicoliae resonat
And across the fatherland Et in tota patria
our song will resonate   Cantus nostrae resonat
A time of joy and pride   Tempus est in gaudium
for Eternal Rome. Superbia Roma aeterna.

Interesting that You assume the end of the Roman Empire with 1453, but that's a possibility. Normally the year 476 is taken, when the last emperor Romulus Augustulus was deposed by the Germanic king Odoaker.
But there exists a third option: 1806 Emperor Francis II. led down the crown of the "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation", declared this Empire as deceased and continued his rule as "Francis I. Emperor of Austria". This was to prevent that Napoleon became elected as Holy Roman Emperor by the felonious princes of the Rhine Convention.

Hey Joe: I fully agree. I always thought 476, but you righted me again with the information on Francis II and 1806. I added a video about the Holy Roman Empire.
