Extinguished Flames Reborn

Beneath a foreign moon tonight,

I lay my sword beside the fire,

The legions sleep, the watchmen stand,

But you are all that I desire.

A thousand miles of dust and stone,

A thousand roads that I must roam,

Yet every road beneath my feet Still whispers softly of my home.

And when the battle horns are calling,

When I don't know what dawn may bring,

I touch the letter near my heart And hear your voice in

everything.

Until Rome

brings me home to you,

I'll carry your love

into every fight. Through fields of fire,

through darkest skies, Your memory will be my light.

Let emperors conquer distant lands,

Let history carve their names in stone,

I ask for neither crown nor glory,

I only pray to make it home.

I still remember how you smiled The morning I was called away,

You held my hand and fought your tears,

Though neither knew what words to say.

I promised you beneath the gods That distance could not change my

heart,

For Rome may command where I must go,

But no command can keep us apart.

If these old roads could speak for me,

They'd tell you every step is yours.

If these stars could carry messages,

I'd send my heart across their shores.

And should the gods grant me tomorrow,

There's only one place I will run: Back through the gates,

into your arms, When all my marching days are done.

Until Rome

brings me home to you,

My heart will cross

the miles each night.

No shield, no sword,

no mighty wall

Could guard me like

your love tonight.

Let others dream of victory,

Of golden crowns and marble thrones,

My greatest triumph waits for me Inside the arms I call my

home.

So keep one candle burning,

love, And look beneath the same bright sky.

For though an empire stands between us,

My heart has never left your side.

Until the eagle turns for Rome,

Until this soldier marches home,

Forever yours...

Forever yours... I remain.
