Virgin Steele - The Burning Of Rome

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 [Chorus:] 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! [Repeat first strophe] When I die In your arms One child born To carry on [Chorus] 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...
