Lyrics
The last remains of Pompeii burned
The gadabout had just returned
To see the ashes covering the town
Empires burned and cities fell
While lovers kissed and said farewell
And laid their fragile bodies on the ground
But I'm not scared to burn
To dust, I will return again
If you'll stay by my side
I'll lay down and I won't hide from fate
Vesuvius was growing colder
Embers that had hotly smoldered
Settled into lifeless dust below
The gadabout was still alive
But not another soul survived
So through the blackened streets he walked alone
[chorus]
The centuries will come and go
The sun will shine, the wind will blow
And we will curse the passing of the years
But time's eternal, day by day
It's us who pass, and blow away
Soon no one will remember we were here
Tablature
