Passion
H. David Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's poetry carved in flesh
This beautiful hell of ours
To the deadliest sin we confess
(Tears of joy fill our eyes)
We are safe where disfigured saints
Cry out their prophecies of doom

My heart's a graveyard, baby
And to evil we make love
On our passion's killing floor
In my arms, you won't sleep safely
And of lust we are reborn
On our passion's killing floor

At the first kiss
the seeds of hatred are sown
Back into darkness we flee
(To tear our hearts out)
We are saved where all faiths fail
Alive inside of our tomb

My heart's a graveyard, baby
And to evil we make love
On our passion's killing floor
In my arms, you won't sleep safely
And of lust we are reborn
On our passion's killing floor

My heart's a graveyard, baby
And to evil we make love
On our passion's killing floor
In my arms, you won't sleep safely
And of lust we are reborn
On our passion's killing floor

(My heart's a graveyard, baby)
My heart's a graveyard, baby
On our passion's killing floor

(In my arms, you won't sleep safely)
And to evil we make love
On our passion's killing floor





Forever more

Line by Line Meaning

I met her deep in the night
I encountered her late at night


Well she was sexy and maybe
She was attractive, at least I thought so


I had a chance
I thought there was a possibility


Did not know what to do
I was unsure of how to proceed


Then in the heat of the night
As the night progressed and things heated up


I looked at her and said baby
I gazed at her and called her 'baby'


Gimme your hand
Give me your hand


I got a crush on you
I have a strong feeling of affection for you


Don`t go away
Don't leave me


My heart is burning so, why don`t you stay
My feelings are intense, please stay with me


There is love in the air, you will see
Romantic feelings are present and will become apparent


You will never forget the night you spend with me
You will remember the time you spend with me forever


Passion - I want your passion
I desire your intense emotions and feelings


My god I`m losing control
I am unable to maintain emotional stability and control


Her look is driving me crazy
Her gaze is making me lose my mind


Making love
Engaging in sexual activity


Would be the greatest thing
It would be the most wonderful experience


I feel it deep in my soul
I feel it intensely within my being


I got the fire my lady
I have intense passion for you, my lady


Let me try to make it clear again
Allow me to clarify my feelings once more
