Things we do for love
Are deeper beyond common sense
Like hounds of a clumsy thicket
Lovers don't need brains to think
Among the fetters of all ages
Emotion is indeed the strongest chain
With which a soul can be tied
Sacrifices we make for love
Are often beyond necessary
Yet we don't understand why
At least if wisdom is too weak to make us foolish
Love will do the job
Touch the king with love
He will let go his crown
Touch a warrior with love
He will surrender his weapons
Touch a coward with love
He will give up his own soul
Love is that burning passion
That consumes all mortal reasoning
With neither warning nor mercy
Things we do for love
Are indeed beyond every common sense
