[Verse 1]
The curse has begun
Yesterday's gone
Now there is so much to lose
Illusion and fear
Confusion and tears
It's more than any cross could bear

[Chorus]
The curse of love
The curse of love

[Verse 2]
Emperors will cry
Empires will fall
And soldiers they'll hang their heads
Time strikes its chord, the last sword is drawn
Bullets straight to the heart

[Chorus]
The curse of love
The curse of love

[Verse 3]
Widows they weep
In their restless sheets
No one will hold them tonight
And way down below
Dark figures flow
In shadows against the wall

[Chorus]
The curse of love
The curse of love
