[Verse 1]
    D5
"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
                           D#5 A#5 D#5
For pledges we could never hope    to
B5   D#5 A#5

[Verse 2]
Then it works because of you
Not a diktat from a guild
For who love is unflinching servitude
Castigate or deprecatethey want heads hung in shame
When a union runs it's course

Perhaps it's this and other such constraints
From which we must divorce
From which we must
