It's a word of cruelty on your lips
Like a killer on the run
Like a kiss from a gun
It's the threat of love
Threat of love

It's a heartache to traumatize
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 the threat of love
Threat of love

Cold like a kiss from a gun
Cold like a day without sun
Cold how my heart grows cold
Under the treat 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 the threat of love
Threat of love
