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…
