[Verse 1 | raw urgent vocal | tight driving groove | aggressive edge] At the head of my troops She occupies my thoughts Late nights in hotel beds The silence hits like shots I close my eyes and she’s there I build but she appears Every victory feels small Without her I fall [Pre-Chorus 1 | rising tension | desperate confessional delivery] I don’t love you, not at all On the contrary I detest you You’re a wicked, naughty slut But my body still wants to hold you [Chorus | big emotional build-up | anthemic rock chorus | stacked layers | obsessive repetition] I have not spent a day without loving you I have not spent a night without clasping you in my arms I have not drunk a single cup without cursing The glory and ambition that keep me from the heart of my very being [Verse 2 | urgent aggressive delivery | driving rhythm | raw energy] I awake all filled with you Your image fills my bed The little black forest Still burns inside my head I break the opposition I stake my hard-won vision I sit alone at night And remember your delight [Pre-Chorus 2 | desperate jealous intensity | building aggression] Your tears madden me They fire my blood One of these nights I’ll come As a jealous man through your door You’ll find me on your arms Whether you want me there or not [Chorus | massive rock chorus | full band | emotional peak | obsessive repetition] I have not spent a day without loving you I have not spent a night without clasping you in my arms I have not drunk a single cup without cursing The glory and ambition that keep me from the heart of my very being [Bridge | intimate stripped vocal | raw vulnerability | building tension] Nature made me strong and decisive She made you out of lace and gossamer If my heart were base enough To love without return I would tear it to pieces With my own teeth, I would burn I tell myself I’m winning I tell myself I’m free But I’ve conquered everything Except what’s killing me I’ve conquered every field But I’m broken by her kiss [Final Chorus | explosive build | full band climax | emotional release] I have not spent a day without loving you I have not spent a night without clasping you in my arms I have not drunk a single cup without cursing The glory and ambition that keep me from the heart of my very being I keep cursing the glory… That keeps me from the heart of my very being [END]
