Oh, there is a source
of evil in the world
that appears  as an angel of light
that preachers sing
from the pulpit
"Oh, the fervent heart
and passionate embrace
is but devil made."
oh how it seeks
and squeezes the mind
into a smaller and smaller box.
but the one who made
the body, and the heart, and the soul
meant the body and soul to live forever
in an ardent and passionate embrace.
For where freedom resides
love truly lives
and passion resides
in truly loving and beating heart.
Oh, how they seek to poison
and lay all the world in there power
hard yoke,  and hard sayings
and all the world
and all the minds in all the world
and laid waste
reason chained and led captive.
But oh, where ardent love
and ardent passion die
from such a vile poison
the sun has set
for the last time
and all the remains
is the cold and the dark.
Oh, let not the sun set
on your passionate heart
and pledge your love
beating heart to beating heart.
and let passion reign
as an endlessly rising sun
on an endlessly blazing path
across an endless blue sky.
