Elderdawn - Passion

Passion
It lies in all of us
It feeds our starving hearts
Think we are dreaming?
That’s all we’ve ever done

Standing, waiting
And though unwanted,
Unbidden,
It will stir,
Open its jaws and howl

It spears to us, guides us.
Passion rules us all
And then we obey
What other choice do we have?

Standing, waiting
And though unwanted,
Unbidden,
It will stir,
Open its jaws and howl

If we could live
Without passion, may (be) we’d know
Some kind of peace but we would
Be hollow
Empty rooms, shuttered and dank
Without passion

We all would be truly dead
Without passion we are truly dead

Passion is the source of our moments
The joy of love
The clarity of hatred
And the ecstasy of grief
It hurts sometimes more than we can bear

Show me the words
To worth the silence
Teach how to impose the heaven
To believe in hell
