Love's reign of terror is over
With only a wave and a kiss
After so many years of resistance
It finally came down to this
It took us too long to realise
The evils performed in its name
Love's reign of terror is over
That monster is finally slain
Love's reign of terror is over
Common sense finally won
St.Valentine's army defeated
With not even one shot from a gun
Cupid's infinite archers
Finally gave up the fight
Love's reign of terror is over
Sleep like a baby tonight
This one's for you, there's been a crash
There's been a coup, there's been a fatal error
And it's the end of love's reign of terror
It wasn't all kisses and candy
The truth will emerge at the trials
Where did you think were the heartless
When everyone walked down the aisle?
Their methods were charmingly touching
So, being polite, we agreed
It all seemed so quaint and so harmless
We didn't expect they'd succeed
The torture was so sentimental
Tasteful, romantic and sweet
Done in the darkest of dungeons
Performed by the pert and petite
They kissed me and whispered 'I love you'
As they stripped all the gums from my teeth
Goodbye to the heart's reign of terror
Revenge will soon follow relief
So beware all you useless romantics
Who flourished throughout this regime
Profiteers also, be watchful,
Who sold them impractical dreams
It's so many years since they shouted
'Death to the Tyrant, The Head!'
'The old heart is dead' shout the headlines
'Long live the new heart instead'
This one's for you, there's been a crash
There's been a coup, there's been a fatal error
And it's the end of love's reign of terror
This one's for you, you disappear
Right on cue - Goodbye to you, dear Sarah
It's the end of love's reign of terror
