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
