Let Sleeping Dogs Die Lyrics

Let Sleeping Dogs Die lyrics

There's the crime of passion
and the crime of revenge
but the worst crime
of all
is the crime of regret
speak of the devil
and the devil may
speak of you
why can't we
let sleeping dogs die

Deep, it cuts
deep
and the affectionate prose
and heaven only knows
what your words
are worth
and the giving birth
to the giving ground of judgment
and by
fact of reason you accuse of treason
and claim betrayal to the Holy
Ghost
of the sacred past
that's fading fast and forever

You took
my hand
and turned it over
why can't we let sleeping dogs die
no devil
so dark
as the devil I know
there's no love lost
and no reason
why

Talk, of faith you talk
but you were the one intent on
stun
you took my glory and pride
sanctity defied
and you never
knew
what the gods could bring
and by playing the game
of whose to
blame
it gets harder all the time
to put my trust in you
so reverence
please
let sleeping dogs die

Let sleeping dogs die
Let sleeping
dogs die.
