The Burning Of Rome - Virgin Steele

Far from paradise

Where the winds of war

Are blowing freely

In my tired eyes

Run the bloody hosts

Of Ares' slaughter

Face to face- with fear and death and hate

Time to say goodbye- draw your last breath

For I conquer

When I die

In your arms

One child born

To carry on

Darling don’t delay

For they’re rushing

From a thousand thrones now

Cry another day

When the memory

Brings you back the vision

Tonight I die- but my life is in you

On my way- but I want to touch you, want to love you…

When I die

In your arms

One child born

To carry on

One nation, one kingdom, one child survives

One nation, one kingdom, one child survives

I’ll meet you again through the eyes of our son

Remember to tell him the price we had to pay

And cry for Pompeii- cry for pompeii!

When I die

In your arms

One child born

To carry on

I’ll meet you again through the eyes of our son

I’ll return

Open the gates, I’m coming home tonight

Black tears will fall and the flames will crack the sky

Oh I see you cry…

I’m calling you… open… I’m coming home…
