When leaders can't be trusted
When heroes let us down
And innocence lies rusted
Frozen beneath the ground

And the destitute, isolated
Have all been forgotten
And the fruit trees we planted
Are withered and rotten

The abused and magnificent
Suffer from infection
And the promises were given
But never with intention

War becomes common place
Secrets overheard
And violence, big business
And love is just a word

Why do we marry?
Why do we fall in love?
Keep on believing in love

Because love
Love is a mighty sword
Love is our weapon
Love is the lesson
And we
We are the conquerors
We are the soldiers
We are the lovers

That's why we fall in love
That's why we believe in love
And that's why we marry
