| Way back in ancient days
| Hace mucho tiempo en la antigüedad
|
| I took the shape of a golden idol
| Tomé la forma de un ídolo de oro
|
| They knelt in front of me
| se arrodillaron frente a mi
|
| Worshipped me; | me adoró; |
| Prayed to me
| oró a mí
|
| I saw the greed in their eyes
| Vi la codicia en sus ojos
|
| Longing — fame and fortune
| Anhelo: fama y fortuna
|
| Yearning — wine and women
| Anhelo: vino y mujeres
|
| Craving — gold and happiness
| Deseo: oro y felicidad
|
| Demanding — Eternal life, eternal life
| Exigente: vida eterna, vida eterna
|
| I saw them burning down
| Los vi arder
|
| Cities and countries
| Ciudades y países
|
| They killed millions of men
| Mataron a millones de hombres
|
| To please me; | Para complacerme; |
| to calm me down
| para calmarme
|
| I saw the greed in their eyes
| Vi la codicia en sus ojos
|
| Longing — fame and fortune
| Anhelo: fama y fortuna
|
| Yearning — wine and women
| Anhelo: vino y mujeres
|
| Craving — gold and happiness
| Deseo: oro y felicidad
|
| Demanding — Eternal life, eternal life
| Exigente: vida eterna, vida eterna
|
| I’ve been around for so long
| He estado aquí por tanto tiempo
|
| Their faith and devotion make me strong
| Su fe y devoción me hacen fuerte
|
| I saw them burning down
| Los vi arder
|
| Cities and countries
| Ciudades y países
|
| They killed millions of men
| Mataron a millones de hombres
|
| To please me; | Para complacerme; |
