Diktat - Napalm Death
To have and to 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 But if it works for you Then it works because of you Not a diktat from a guild For who love is servitude Castigate or deprecate They want heads hung in shame When a union runs its course For pledges we could never hope to fulfill 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 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 Love is the wild-eyed antidote To cold imperatives Love is the wild-eyed antidote To cold imperatives Love has since been hijacked To tether down its whims Obey, 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
