ABC - The Flames Of Desire Lyrics






Caesars have squandered jewels on you
Empires they build on shifting sands
Trading for kisses in a queue
Like sacrificial lambs
Let Rome in Tiber melt away
Legions that conquer rise then fall
I'll kneel 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 powers 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 two thousand years
To bath in the waters of the Nile
In Cleopatra's tears
Together we sail cross dessert seas
Is it true? Is it deja-vu?
It 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 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 Vici

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 powers anointed me
This is the torch, this is the flame
This is the passion wild and untamed
Burning in flames of desire

    I absolutely love this song, I feel it's the best song ABC (Martin Fry) have ever produced. Well sung and the music surrounds you in a completely magical moment of pure dreams. I'm an 80's guy and a real romantic at heart it's the type of song you can see in your minds eye of you singing to a loved one ...... Truly a magical song...... I'd love to sing this song in this way on the video with Martin Fry just for that thrill but sadly I don't think I have the singing voice (lol) guess I can dream though

    Caesars have squandered jewels on you

    I'll kneel to the Gods and then I'll pray
    Do you hear my call?

    You came you saw you conquered me

    This is the passion wild and untamed
    Burning in flames of desire

    To bathe in the waters off the Nile
    In Cleopatras tears

    Auténtica maravilla de tema !!!!!! No hay otra música como esta...!!! Qué lástima que la juventud de hoy no sepa apreciar la elegancia y calidad de lo que la juventud de los 80 tuvimos. Música que eleva el alma. Enhorabuena Martin Fry.

  53. A.... W....

    lovely, not enough views in this modern age.... sad

  54. L.... ....

    Nice slippers.

  55. A.... M....

    Still got his smooth vocals and wonderful orchestral backing - don't feel like any time has passed since the'80's listening to this.

  56. G.... B....

    I was 15 when Lexicon Of Love was released and didn't even realise ABC released a sequel in 2016! 34 years may have passed but Martin Fry's vocals are as clear and as smooth as they were back in the day.

  57. A.... S....

    George Smith duck orr

  80. S.... L....

    Love, love, love this song and the album is amazing. Thanks Martin :-)

  81. C.... G....

    truly wonderful song ! amazing arrangment

  82. G.... G....

    I'm a massive fan of all music but there's something about abc that I cannot stand, maybe it's the fact that they played this song 7 times a day constantly for about 2 months on radio 2. Yes I know, strange having an 18 year old guy in a metal band listening to radio 2 day too day. I think the record label had this song played on radio two by paid promotion because any other song being played thousands of times too millions of people would have been number 1 in the charts and have more that 40k views on YouTube.

    G.... G....

    TheSunsCollapseOfficial this song is awesome

    G.... G....

    Goire Garaat Thanks for taking the time to scribble that.

  83. C.... ....

    ABC deserve a Brit Award Nomination !

  88. S.... M....

    numero uno

  89. p.... h....

    Wonderful song .... Lexicon of Love it's an excellent album.

  90. D.... G....

    What a great comeback! 80's forever!

    D.... G....

    New album very nice too: https://open.spotify.com/album/0oM70h5kon8VTdckFbLodG

  91. p.... ....

    BEST CHORUS I've heard for many years !!!!!!

    p.... ....

    planetmusicsamos totally agree!

    p.... ....

    Awesome! I feel back in the 80's

    p.... ....

    amen my friend.

    p.... ....

    Questi sono dei fuoriclasse. Vai in scioltezza, è il packaging della musica,nel senso che ti inquadrano,ti ridemensionano e ti presentano un lavoro bello,davvero bello e ben fatto che se lo capisci adesso: BENE ,altrimenti lo capirai più avanti. Io resto sempre a bocca aperta nell' ascoltarli,perché sono troppo troppo BRAVI.

    p.... ....

    Qua siamo a livelli altissimi da sempre. O li capisci e allora vuol dire che hai un orecchio fino,un gusto musicale ed un orecchio sopraffino oppure li capirai più avanti.

  92. D.... 1....

    マーティンの声、曲は本当にかっこいい。
    日本に来て下さい。
    待ってます。

  93. D.... 1....

    最高!

  94. Z.... F....

    Its hard to find music sounding so senstitve, warm and natural, and so wisely crafted nowadays.

  95. T.... L....

    One of the greatest moments in life is to saying hello and waving goodbye for the love, for the flight, for the youth.... Music is eternal - only while remembering lasts.... If you do remember the freedom of the flight, you stay young - before you die. All has to... Loved, been loved. There's only one thing will be left: to remember!

  96. V.... B....

    Love his voice!!! It´s the same !!!

  97. S.... B....

    Amazing! Pure class!!

  98. D.... M....

    This is just so good

  99. t.... n....

    Great Martin!!!!
