stand before the gates and watch metropolis

empires come and go we live forever

and eternity is in your hidden eyes

take my broken wings teach me to fly again



I stand alone

we stand alone



down the empty streets head for the seven hills

vestal virgins dance we steal the fire

battered columns stand as silent monuments

deep inside their dreams I see your memories



I stand alone…



we share the last champagne and watch necropolis

still and so let's leave her to her silent walks

the sun of Rome is set and our day is gone

a kiss a taste of red from your open lips



I stand alone…
