It's a poison that slowly drips

It's a word of cruelty on your lips

Like a killer on the run

Like a kiss from a gun

It's the threat of love

Threat of love



It's a heartache to traumatize

It's a touch of darkness in your eyes

Like a killer on the run

Like a kiss from a gun

It's a threat of love

Threat of love



It's a life on a bed of roses

It's a life on a bed of nails

It's a life of hell if you live to tell

It's the threat of love

Threat of love



Cold like a kiss from a gun

Cold like a day without sun

Cold how my heart grows cold

Under the treat of love



Love goes dark in the shadow of your heart

Love goes cold in the winter of your soul

It's a chilling revelation

It's a ticket to damnation

It's a reason for retribution

As you pray for absolution

Like a lonely phantom calling

Like an angel when he's falling

Like a killer on the run

Like a kiss from a gun

It's the threat of love

Threat of love
