Diktat

[Verse 1]
To have and hold for all eternity
Limitations and ambitions are a pretext to falling short
We'll be doomed, marooned and two fatalities
Anomalies in whispered circles
For pledges we could never hope to fulfill
Hope to fulfill

[Verse 2]
But if it works for you
Then it works because of you
Not a diktat from a guild
For who love is (unflinching) servitude
Castigate or deprecate
They want heads hung in shame
When a union runs its course
For pledges we could never
Hope to fulfill

[Verse 3]
Irrepressible
Irresponsible
Love is the wild-eyed antidote to cold imperatives
Love is the wild-eyed antidote
To cold imperatives
Love is like the last day you'll ever live

[Verse 4]
So why lose that spark
When our paths begin to merge
It's the yoke of absolutes
Those pledges we could never
Blight in compliance

[Verse 5]
Love is the wild-eyed antidote to cold imperatives
Love is the wild-eyed antidote to cold imperatives
Love has since been hi-jacked
To tether down its whims

[Bridge]
Obey, obey, obey
So the passion dilutes
Obey, obey, obey, obey, obey, obey, obey

Perhaps under angry clouds
Of the imagined higher force

Refrain, refrain, refrain
From ending on a high note
Refrain, refrain, refrain, refrain, refrain, refrain, refrain

Perhaps under angry clouds
Of the imagined higher force
Perhaps it's this and other such constraints
From which we must divorce
From which we must divorce
