Love
Love is a wild animal
Some seek to tame it, others to claim it
Alone in silence sits a man
whose battle with the beast has stained his raiment
He thrusts his fists against the part
of his chest that night the arrow pierced his heart
And slowly spilling forth from the wound
An expanding circle of the blackest flesh
Of course, of course it breaks you
In the end it always takes you
Heartache filled symphony
Bringing down on bended knee
Love is a wild animal
Some seek to tame it, others to claim it
Alone in silence sits a man
Whose battle with the beast on high he blames it
The night has given him a chill
That tea, nor ale, nor strong wine can fill
The wind against his blackened soul
Has made him frigid, made him cold
Of course, of course it breaks you
In the end it always takes you
Heartache filled symphony
Bringing down on bended knee
Love is a wild animal
Those who seek you are enthralled
By your beauty of your tone
But you turn their heart to stone
