[00:02.99]The Glory of Rome
[00:18.18]
[00:27.64]Jesus Christ I'm coming - terrestrial home.
[00:32.66]I'm allowed to guide their train
[00:35.33]To visit you in Rome.
[00:37.97]I am sick of preachers telling to be plain
[00:43.14]While you got it nice in here
[00:45.73]They'd better feel ashamed
[00:47.88]
[00:48.68]Oh, ways of gold
[00:53.65]Lead us into YOUR blaze of fame.
[00:59.14]Oh, are YOU waiting
[01:04.02]For what we have brought YOU from hell?
[01:08.12]
[01:12.00]Glory of Rome, glorious home.
[01:17.28]Praising the king of the kings
[01:22.47]Glory of Rome, glorious home.
[01:27.84]Reaching for haloes and wings.
[01:35.37]
[01:49.05]Heading for the angels, heading for the feast,
[01:53.98]Heading for salvation and the ruin of the beast.
[01:59.31]Let us fight the outcast, let us brin 'em fire,
[02:04.43]let us lock the center of their wicked, mad desire.
[02:09.78]Oh, ways of gold
[02:15.00]Lead us into YOUR blaze of fame.
[02:20.33]Oh, are YOU waiting
[02:25.45]For what we have brought YOU from hell?
[02:29.74]
[02:33.32]Glory of Rome, glorious home.
[02:38.61]Praising the king of the kings
[02:43.80]Glory of Rome, glorious home.
[02:49.12]Reaching for haloes and wings.
[02:57.94]
[03:42.47]
[03:43.47]Holding in my hand: Seven parts of a seal
[03:53.53]To unlock the land of illumination I feel.
[04:04.34]And it's been foretold: after touching the light
[04:14.41]We shall lock the world.
[04:18.54]But now it's our time to transcend,
[04:23.32]The ultimate key in our hand
[04:27.25]
[04:28.94]Glory of Rome, glorious home.
[04:34.02]Praising the king of the kings
[04:39.20]Glory of Rome, glorious home.
[04:44.58]Reaching for haloes and wings.
[04:49.70]Glory of Rome, glorious home.
[04:54.98]Praising the king of the kings
[05:00.20]Glory of Rome, glorious home.
[05:05.58]Reaching for haloes and wings.
