Lying face down in the dust

Your body crippled with mistrust

I wonder if you'll ever rise

Too much of nothing wears you out

There's a lot of that about

I see it lingering in your eyes

If you change the arrow's course

Or feel the punch with all its force

Remember passion never dies





I'll see you there

Should you come through

Patience sits 





Her face all blackened up with soot

Ragged clothes won't interupt

The precious gem that is your life

The lover spurned and then replaced

There's just forgiveness not disgrace

And I say "Passion never dies"





And we'll return

Our candles burn

Patience sits





I won't let you sleep when there's fear in your blood

I won't let you sleep when there's fear in your blood





And if you think that holding on 

Is already far too long

Who's to be the judge of time?

It won't seep out through your toes

It only grows and grows and grows

'coz passion never ever dies





When you return

On your own terms

Patience sits





I won't let you sleep when there's fear in your blood

I won't let you sleep when there's fear in your blood

I won't let you sleep when there's fear in your blood 

I won't let you sleep when there's fear in your blood

I won't let you sleep whwn there's fear in your blood
