Let Sleeping Dogs Die

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 sleepin' dogs die?

Deep, it cuts deep

And the affection, it grows

And heaven only knows

What you were to earth

And the giving birth

To the giving rounds of judgement

And by fact of reason

You accuse of treason

Claim betrayal to the Holy Ghost

Of the sacred past

It's fading fast and forever

You took my hands

And turned it over

Why can't we

Let sleepin' 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

By playing the game

Of who's to blame

It gets harder all the time

To put my trust in you

So reverence please, let sleepin' dogs die

Let sleepin' dogs die

Let sleepin' dogs die

Let sleepin' dogs die
