Pompeii

The last remains of Pompeii burned

The gadabout had just returned

To see the ashes covering the town

Empires burned and cities fell

While lovers kissed and said farewell

And laid their fragile bodies on the ground

But I'm not scared to burn

To dust, I will return again

If you'll stay by my side

I'll lay down and I won't hide from fate

Vesuvius was growing colder

Embers that had hotly smoldered

Settled into lifeless dust below

The gadabout was still alive

But not another soul survived

So through the blackened streets he walked alone

But I'm not scared to burn

To dust, I will return again

If you'll stay by my side

I'll lay down and I won't hide from fate

The centuries will come and go

The sun will shine, the wind will blow

And we will curse the passing of the years

But time's eternal, day by day

It's us who pass, and blow away

Soon no one will remember we were here

But I'm not scared to burn

To dust, I will return again

If you'll stay by my side

I'll lay down and I won't hide from fate

From fate
