[Intro] [staccato orchestral strings, rapid double-kick drumming, distorted electric guitar power chords] [0:18] [operatic female vocalizations begin with heavy reverb] Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [Verse 1] [palm-muted guitar chugging, steady bass guitar] Can I compare you to a summer's eye That fades away where mortal beauties fall Your hand relentless bits the roses die And carves in marble what brief youth has made [Chorus] [full orchestral ensemble, crash cymbals] Hold that's the air Same as always, no one's complaining Neon lights, our sweet poison Lighting up the night like a Shakespearean drama We're dancing on love's edge Feet hit the ground, no mortar's here Just Romeo and Juliet demanding their happy ending [Post-Chorus] [piano melody, staccato violins] So teach my soul this wisdom Bard of Avon [Verse 2] [distorted guitar riffs, driving drums] In poetry's embrace our hearts live on Immortal ink where mortal cares unwind While you take the bloom from every flower My words will hold you in an eternal hour For love that's phoenix-born of mortal fire Defies fate's hand and in our sleep slips on [Chorus] [soaring vocals, brass section enters] So teach my soul this wisdom Bard of Avon Hold that's the air Same as always, no one's complaining Neon lights, our sweet poison Lighting up the night like a Shakespearean drama We're dancing on love's edge Feet hit the ground, no mortar's here Just Romeo and Juliet demanding their happy ending [Outro] [operatic vocalizations] So teach my soul this wisdom Bard of Avon [orchestral swell, final drum fill, fade out]
