De single is afkomstig van Berlin’s derde album genaamd Count Three & Pray.
Het werd een bescheiden hit voor de band. Volgens de zangeres Nunn was dat te wijten aan het grote muzikale verschil met de single Take My Breath Away. De opname van de single verliep ook niet heel erg soepel door meningsverschillen in de band.

Songtekst
Something you've heard, somewhere you've seen
Too real to ignore
You've chosen not to believe
From the black of their pain, to the white of their fear
In the dust they die
While Eden lies near
The freedom bought, changed hands, was sold
This heat of love has turned ice-cold
We just can't escape it
Like flames reaching out from the sun
We can't defeat it
Like flames reaching out from the sun
From the garden of love, been banished too long
And the balance will shift
Between the week and the strong
Once they would beg and they would plead
But now they demand
Divided by those that need
And those that command
The freedom bought, changed hands, was sold
The heat of love has turned ice-cold and
We never learn but we know too well
Heaven's died and gone to Hell
Now you watch but you should have run
Like flames that leap from the base of the sun
And you dream you're free but you'll awake
Too much too late, too much too late
