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 its birth?
Sweet sound of yesterday
We lit forbidden fires
And the dark snake of sin
Was coiling deep within
Our hearts were led 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 beneath such filthy lies
To toss our hopes towards the sky
Sweet sound of yesterday
We lit forbidden fires
And the dark snake of sin
Was coiling deep within
Our hearts were led 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
We lit forbidden fires
And the dark snake of sin
Was coiling deep within
Our hearts were led astray
Climbing walls of desire
Your poison now awaits
It lurks beneath the skin
Sweet sound of yesterday
Sweet sound of yesterday
Our hearts were led astray
Sweet sound of yesterday
