Crime Of Passion Lyrics - Capercaillie

With a crime of passion lie those dreams of yesterday 

Broken like the snows of January 

Silence will fall on those masters of shame 

When the family garden wakes to Spring again 

Under the moon and over land 

Make the shadows of the chosen one 

With words of mercy in his hand 

He walks the path of peace a wounded man 

Out of sight and out of mind 

The devil's staircase winding high 

Make it secret make it sudden 

And the family garden wakes to frosty ground 

In Europes towns tonight 

They lie awake again to fear the dawn 

An endless story of empty glory
