Power
Pompeya Lyrics

'Tropical' | Theomatic Records 2011
--------------------------------
Who wanna take the power
Who wants to stand in front
Who's got the will to break down
Spin the fire in his arms

Do you wanna be here to see him
Do you want to stand beside
There is nothing you can give him
But the power in your eyes.

Who wanna take the power
Who will catch the hour
While you dance with the fireworks
Cheeeering his name

Do you wanna be here to hear him
Or don't wanna be here in fear of him
At least you always need him
Although he's not a saint

Who wanna be a leader
Who wants to stand up straight
Who s heart has not withered
Who s soul has not faded

Here is the great exiter
Coming out from the mist
Wider and wider
"We dont we don't have to resist"

Saviour sun
Won't you come along to be my friend?




Saviour sun
Won't you shine on me and take my hand?

Сила в любви и в отсутствии предрассудков!

Кто хочет взять власть
Кто хочет стоять впереди
У кого есть желание сломаться
Вращай огонь на руках

Хочешь быть здесь, чтобы увидеть его?
Вы хотите стоять рядом
Вы ничего не можете ему дать
Но сила в твоих глазах

Кто хочет взять власть
Кто поймает час
Пока вы танцуете с фейерверком
Читай свое имя

Хочешь быть здесь, чтобы услышать его?
Или не хочешь быть здесь, боясь его
По крайней мере, вы всегда нуждаетесь в нем
Хотя он не святой

Кто хочет быть лидером
Кто хочет встать прямо
У кого сердце не засохло
Кто душа не исчезла

Вот отличный exiter
Выйдя из тумана
Широкий и широкий
«Мы не должны сопротивляться»

Припев:
Спасительное солнце
Разве ты не придешь, чтобы стать моим другом?
Спасительное солнце
Разве ты не будешь сиять на мне и не взять меня за руку?

Do you wanna be here to see him
Do you want to stand beside
There is nothing you can give him
But the power in your eyes.

Who wanna take the power
Who will catch the hour
While you dance with the fireworks
Cheeeering his name

Do you wanna be here to hear him
Or don't wanna be here in fear of him
At least you always need him
Although he's not a saint

Who wanna be a leader
Who wants to stand up straight
Who s heart has not withered
Who s soul has not faded

Here is the great exiter
Coming out from the mist

Saviour sun
Won't you shine on me and take my hand?

Who wanna take the power
Who wants to stand in front
Who's got the will to break down
Spin the fire in his arms
Do you wanna be here to see him
Do you want to stand beside
There is nothing you can give him
But the power in your eyes

[Bridge]
Who wanna take the power
Who will catch the hour
While you dance with the fireworks
Cheering his name

[Verse 2]
Do you wanna be here to hear him
Or don't wanna be here in fear of him
At least you always need him
Although he's not a saint
Who wanna be a leader
Who wants to stand up straight
Whose heart has not withered
Whose soul has not faded

[Bridge]
Here is the great exiter
Coming out from the mist
Spin wider and wider
"We dont we don't have to resist"

Saviour sun
Won't you come along to be my friend?
(come along to be my friend)
(come along to be my friend)
Saviour sun
Won't you shine on me and take my hand?

Such a beautiful and addictive song, I love everything about it, the lyrics, the tune, and the video, all equally brilliant.

Sasquatch chronicles led me here, and not ashamed to say that, all that matters is I have discovered one of my favourite songs!
