flame of the west

Lyrics

a stranger came by traveling, he went to every door, he said he'd lost his people, he had 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 were full of demons, as he made the message clear, he strode the world like caesar, with a trident held his fear, and in his eyes, was the flame of the west, until it burns, he never rests, it's just how its always been, one man with a ruling dream, and everyone falls for him, heroines in an ancient film, it's just how its 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, and in his eyes, was the flame of the west, until it burns, he never rests
