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 a threat of love

Threat of love



It's a heartache

To traumatise

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 a threat of love

Threat of love



Cold like a day without sun

Cold like a kiss from a gun

Cold how my heart grows cold

Under the threat 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 a threat of love

Threat of love



Afraid of love

Afraid of love

And all the things that are made of love



Threat of love

It's the end of love
