Alas, here is your serenade, my darling   That leaves you speechless and weak   May it teach you how to feel, may it remedy your heartlessness   And may your cries not interrupt this swan song      This is a call to arms for all those who recognize romance as   As a dying scene, who'll take it to their graves   This is a call to arms for all who hold this sacrament close   May our hearts burn on      How dare you weep   And it's insincerity that trickles down your face   Alas, here is your serenade, my darling   And oh, what a long time coming it has been   This cruel lullaby that shall plague   Your dreams and carry me, carry me towards revolution      This is a call to arms for all those who recognize romance as   As a dying scene, who'll take it to their graves   This is a call to arms for all who hold this sacrament close   May our hearts burn on   I'll sing for you the threnody of modern romance, threnody      This is a call to arms for all those who recognize romance as   As a dying scene, who'll take it to their graves   This is a call to arms for all who hold this sacrament close   May our hearts burn on      Take it to their graves   (Our hearts burn on)   Take it to their graves   This is a call to arms for all who hold this sacrament close   May our hearts, may our hearts, may our hearts burn on
