big country Flame of the West birmingham 25/3/1989 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
