Lying face down in the dust Your body crippled with mistrust I wonder if you'll ever rise Too much of nothing wears you out There's a lot of that about I see it lingering in your eyes If you change the arrow's course Or feel the punch with all its force Remember pa**ion never dies I'll see you there Should you come through Patience sits Her face all blackened up with soot Ragged clothes won't interrupt The precious gem that is your life The lover spurned and then replaced There's just forgiveness not disgrace
And I say "Pa**ion never dies" And we'll return Our candles burn Patience sits I won't let you sleep when there's fear in your blood I won't let you sleep when there's fear in your blood And if you think that holding on Is already far too long Who's to be the judge of time? It won't seep out through your toes It only grows and grows and grows Cause pa**ion never ever dies When you return On your own terms Patience sits I won't let you sleep when there's fear in your blood [Repeat: x5]
