The Flames of Desire by ABC, off the Lexicon of Love II album
Caesar’s have squandered jewels on you
Empires they’ve built on shifting sands
Trading for kisses in a queue
Like sacrificial lambs
Let rome and tiber melt away
Legions that conquered rise and fall
I’ll knee to the gods and then I’ll pray
Do you hear my call?!
You came, you saw, you conquered me
Right then, I knew you wanted me
Burning in Flames of Desire
(Burning in Flames of Desire)
You came, you saw, you taunted me
High Priestess has anointed me
This is the torch, this is the flame, this is the passion, wild and untamed
Burning in Flames of Desire
The spirit of romance in your smile
Sweeping me back 2000 years
To bathe in the waters of the Nile
In Cleopatra’s tears
Together we sail cross desert seas
Is it true, is it deja vu?
Whispers in the breeze
Do you feel it too?
You came, you saw, you conquered me
Right then, I knew you wanted me
Burning in Flames of Desire
(Burning in Flames of Desire)
You came, you saw, you taunted me
High Priestess has/powers anointed me
This is the torch, this is the flame, this is the passion, wild and untamed
Burning in Flames of Desire
Veni,
Vidi,
Veci
You came, you saw, you conquered me
Right then, I knew you wanted me
Burning in Flames of Desire
You came, you saw, you taunted me
High Priestess has/powers anointed me
This is the torch, this is the flame, this is the passion, wild and untamed
