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 aloneâ¦
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
