I paid my dues all for truth
Can't leave it here, leave it here, leave it here forgotten
Silence rules as blind as fools
Will never learn, never learn, never learn to break away

Oh, why can't we rise again?

When all the days go by a firelight
We'll never fade out in the night
And we are estranged, we're drawn to the flame
We are like fire to the rain

Isn't it strange that love is in the way?
It never goes away, never goes away

I paid my dues all for truce
I'll leave it here, leave it here, leave it here forgotten
Love will rule over truth
Will never learn, never learn, never learn to break away

Oh, why can't we rise again?

When all the days go by a firelight
We'll never fade out in the night
And we are estranged, we're drawn to the flame
We are like fire to the rain
Isn't it strange that love is in the way?
Isn't it strange that love is in the way?
When all the days go by a firelight
We'll never fade out in the night
And we are estranged, we're drawn to the flame
We are the fire to the rain

Isn't strange that love is in the way
It never goes away, away
