Lyrics

Sweet Surrender

All the miles of glory really nothing to me

It's our love here, we are invisble again

Imagine how it goes, I believe in sweet surrender

And searching for so long, it will stay with me forever

No, I won't ever ask for your surrender

No religion and choruses again

But it won't leave me desolate and angry

Are there no poets in politics again

See the window upon the free world closing slowly

And poor men crawl upon your boney knees again

Imagine how it goes, I believe in sweet surrender

And searching for so long, it will stay with me forever

No, I won't ever ask for your surrender

Holy roller and passion play again

On this day that I don't care to remember

No religion and choruses again

Imagine how it goes, I believe in sweet surrender

I feel lost as a dying rose in embers

No religion and choruses again

No, I won't ever ask for your surrender

Are there no poets in politics again

No, I won't ever ask for your surrender

Holy roller and passion play again

On this day that I don't care to remember

No religion and choruses again
