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...
