"I'll meet you again through the eyes of our son." Just an incredible lyric.

[@ricardoserrado5503]

One of the bests metal songs ever made

[@Samowarrior]

This band is so underrated

[@SantiRunning]

Far from paradise Where the winds of war Are blowing freely In my tired eyes Run the bloody hosts Of Ares' slaughter Face to face- with fear and death and hate Time to say goodbye- draw your last breath For I conquer When I die In your arms One child born To carry on Darling don't delay For they're rushing From a thousand thrones now Cry another day When the memory Brings you back the vision Tonight I die- but my life is in you On my way- but I want to touch you, want to love you... When I die In your arms One child born To carry on One nation, one kingdom, one child survives One nation, one kingdom, one child survives I'll meet you again through the eyes of our son Remember to tell him the price we had to pay And cry for Pompeii- cry for pompeii! When I die In your arms

My wife said this shit is cool so no one needs to be virgins anymore!!!!

[@leenaylor3382]

Why this album bombed when it was first released I will never know. I can see why fans didn't like 'Life Among Ruins'. I'm not a huge fan of that one either. It just wasn't what the band was about. But this, this is about as classic of a Virgin Steele song as you can get.

[@leenaylor3382]

***** That's true. There's also the fact that power metal was, and unfortunately still is, nowhere near as big in the US as it is in Europe.

[@btxteppei7327]

Ok gostei muito

[@SparrowHawk76]

Long Live Roma!
