Simon Hinkler - Let Sleeping Dogs Die lyrics

There's the crime of pa**ion 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
