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 we Let sleeping 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 Its fading fast and forever You took my hand And turned it over Why can't we let sleeping dogs die No devil so dark As the devil I knew 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 whose to blame It gets harder all the time To put my trust in you So reverence please Let sleeping dogs die Let sleeping dogs die Let sleeping dogs die
