Flame Of The West Lyrics - Steeltown - 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
