I know the burden of being the chosen one
Every step I take the world seems to judge
I know the fire that lurks in every man
Someone calls it love, some other just desire
Torn between flesh and divine
Human drives against the Faith
Tell me, what should I choose
As Dido weeps my name?
Never I will rest my mind
She’s my love, I must leave her
Dying a bit inside
As Dido weeps, as Dido weeps my name
Vast looming walls and towers
Begun and left undone
The works are broken off
No more the city grows
Slave to this passion, we left ourselves behind
A sweet oblivion, a sin in the eyes of the Gods
Torn between flesh and divine
Human drives against the faith
Tell me, what should I choose
As Dido cries my name?
Never I will rest my mind
She’s my love, I must leave her
Dying a bit inside
As Dido cries, as Dido cries my name
Venus, release this life
Hades, please, receive my soul
Forgive me, Queen of Carthago
The shining of a pyre reflecting on the sea
As my fleet is sailing away to distant shores
I feel your sorrow, I wasn't strong enough
To be your lover and not the bearer of Fate
Torn between flesh and divine
Human drives against the faith
Tell me, what should I choose
As Dido curse my name?
Never I will rest my mind
She’s my love, I must leave her
Dying a bit inside
As Dido curse, as Dido curse my name
“Venus, release this life
Hades, please, receive my soul”
Goodbye, my wretched queen
