Napalm Death lyrics : "Diktat"

"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
For pledges we could never hope to fulfil


But if it works for you
Then it works because of you

Not a diktat from a guild
For who love is (unflinching) servitude


Castigate or deprecate - they want heads hung in shame
When a union runs it's course
For pledges we could never hope to fulfil


Irrepressible, irresponsible love
Is the wild-eyed antitote to cold imperatives

Love is the wild-eyed antidote
To cold imperatives
Love is like the last day you'll ever live


So why lose that spark
When our paths begin to merge?

It's the yoke of absolutes - those pledges
We could never blight in compliance


Love is the wild-eyed antidote to cold imperatives
Love has since been hi-jacked to tether down it's whims


Obey, obey, obey so the passion dilutes
Obey, obey, obey, obey, obey, obey, obey


Perhaps under angry clouds of the imagined higher force

Refrain, refrain, refrain

From ending on a high note
Refrain, refrain, refrain, refrain
Refrain, refrain, refrain


Perhaps under angry clouds of the imagined higher force
Perhaps it's this and other such constraints

From which we must divorce
