Song Lyrics
Looking into all your eyes,
I see the fires burning
Pages of our history returning once again
I can see the whole world rock beneath its calm disguise
I can feel the nuclear shock as it tears apart my mind
And I'm - waiting for Rome to fall
Revolutions come and go,
but diamonds are forever
The situation's lost control, but the power class says "No!"
Now all the dreams that might come true are running out of time
And all the thoughts you can compute have reached the end of line -
And I'm - waiting for Rome to fall
Well, this is the end, my
friend, I wanna thank you for the ride
(but I hear the sound of marching feet)
Well, this is the end my friend, I wanna find someplace to hide
(just like Nero in the heat), I am -
waiting for Rome to fall
Hoppe, hoppe Reiter,
Hop-hop, rider
wenn er faellt dann schreit er,
when he falls he shouts
faellt er in den Graben
if he falls into a ditch
fressen Ihn die Raben,
the Raven will eat him,
faellt er in den Sumpf,
if he falls into the Swamp
macht der Reiter... plumps!
the rider falls with a splash!
