A Passage in Time Lyrics

These silent chances pass one by
Who never knew of them at all.
Resigned to the hands of fate
We await her impending beck and call.

Until we return, paradise intered.
Spread your golden wings, let the sails unfurl.
Until we return, paradise intered.
Spread your golden wings, let the fires burn.

These silent chances pass one by
Who never knew of them at all.
Resigned to the hands of fate
We await her impending beck and call.

Until we return, paradise intered.
Spread your golden wings, let the sails unfurl.
Until we return, paradise intered.
Spread your golden wings, let the fires burn.

Well opportunities doors did not open wide.
The answers remain locked away inside.
Locked away inside
Locked away inside
Locked away inside
Locked away inside

So forced into labour we till the earth
To sow the seeds of our own rebirth.

As the days turned into years
Our faith overcame any doubts or fears.
Are there any doubts or fears?
Are there any doubts or fears?
Are there any doubts or fears?
Are there any doubts or fears?

In truth we had found the key.
It's application would unravel this mystery.
This mystery
This mystery
This mystery
This mystery

Cover art for A Passage in Time lyrics by Dead Can Dance

Man, an awesome song with a kicking bass line in the second half. One of the few songs I can listen to repetitiously.

Their versatility is awesome but I wish I could find more songs that they made like this one.

I know, their first album is totally different to their rest work.
