Once we held the flame buzzed off pent up spite
Demanding freedom from the guns who manned the heights
But revolutions fade itches soothed away
Temptations smoulder on embers falling deaf upon

Forgotten passions held on
Laid to rest we linger long

The streets no longer beckon
Rage no longer sparks
Safe inside our houses
Not fumbling through the dark

Where did the passion go we used to storm the streets below
What led us out to fight we rang the bells, lit up the night
Where did it go the warmth of the afterglow
The sweet temptation to throw back the sticks and stones

Ambitions self contained medicated and restrained
From filling space inside our minds waiting for sparks to ignite

Coloured our world yeah we coloured our world in sunshine
Coloured our world yeah we coloured our world in sunshine
To tide the faded skies that held our world in grey

Softly reasoning we shelved away our love
Shushed the promise made
Never to give up
