Текст песни: Sticks and Stones + перевод

Once we held the flame, buzzed off, pent up spite

Demanding freedom from the guns who manned the heights

But revolutions fade, itches soothed away

Temptations smoulder on embers, falling deaf upon

Forgotten passions held on

Laid to rest, we linger long

The streets no longer beckon

Rage no longer sparks

Safe inside our houses

Not fumbling through the dark

Where did the passion go?

We used to storm the streets below

What led us out to fight?

We rang the bells, lit up the night

Where did it go?

The warmth of the afterglow

The sweet temptation

To throw back the sticks and stones

Ambitions self-contained

Medicated and restrained

From filling space inside our minds

Waiting for sparks to ignite

Forgotten passions held on

Laid to rest, we linger long

The streets no longer beckon

Rage no longer sparks

Safe inside our houses

Not fumbling through the dark

Where did the passion go?

We used to storm the streets below

What led us out to fight?

We rang the bells, lit up the night

Where did it go?

The warmth of the afterglow

The sweet temptation

To throw back the sticks and stones

Coloured our world

Yeah, we coloured our world in sunshine

Coloured our world

Yeah, we coloured our world in sunshine

To tide the faded skies that held our world in grey

Softly reasoning we shelved away our love

Shushed the promise made, never to give up

Where did the passion go?

We used to storm the streets below

What led us out to fight?

We rang the bells, lit up the night

Where did it go?

The warmth of the afterglow

The sweet temptation

To throw back the sticks and stones
