Flame of The West By Big Country.

---------------------------------

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 ment

His eyes where full of demons

As he made his message clear

He strode the world like Ceaser

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 promice you will stay
