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
