A stranger came by traveling He went to every door He said he'd lost his people He'd come to look for more And many did believe him As he talked upon the square The spell he wove upon us Fills my body with despair And in his eyes Was the flame of the west Until it burns He never rests He had the voice of an angel And the face of a saint And though they fell behind him I knew what it was he meant His eyes where full of demons As he made his message clear He strode the world like Caeser With a trident held as fear And in his eyes Was the flame of the west Until it burns He never rests It's just how it's always been One man with a ruling dream And everyone falls for him Heroines in an ancient film It's just how it's always been One man with a ruling dream And everyone falls for him Heroines in an ancient film Called the flame of the west Look out for that stranger If you pass him on your way He never sees a danger In the darkening of the day There will be dollars in his hand He has all hell to pay And he will pass them to you If you promise you will stay
