Why cause our passion to run and hide
 Drown it beneath the rising tide
 And cause it shatter upon this earth
 Refuse the wonder of this birth?

 Sweet sound of yesterday
 Wet lot forbidden fires
 And the dark snake of sin
 Was coiling deep within

 Our hearts were lead astray
 Climbing walls of desire
 Your poison now awaits
 It lurks beneath the skin

 Why cause our passion to pay the price
 To turn our hearts as cold as ice
 And hide behind such filthy lies
 To toss our hopes towards the sky

 Sweet sound of yesterday
 Wet lot forbidden fires
 And the dark snake of sin
 Was coiling deep within

 Our hearts were lead astray
 Climbing walls of desire
 Your poison now awaits
 It lurks beneath the skin

 On we strive to a new tomorrow!
 Close my eyes, dreams are on my side
 Glowing beams shattering my sorrow!
 Forevermore ? surrounded by the light

 Sweet sound of yesterday
 Wet lot forbidden fires
 And the dark snake of sin
 Was coiling deep within

 Our hearts were lead astray
 Climbing walls of desire
 Your poison now awaits
 It lurks beneath the skin

2x
 Sweet sound of yesterday
 Our hearts were lead astray
 Sweet sound of yesterday
