You'll find him lying on a bed of nails and broken glass
Covered by the blood dimmed sheet of dust and ash
He fell the day before they stopped the war
Surrounded by the blood and gore
Lies an unknown soldier dead before
Love took over the world

She was caught out in a fierce downpour of acid rain
Unaware of all the hair and flesh that
Clogged the drain
It's sad to say that she's another one
Now who's bones are bleaching in the sun
If she'd only found cover
She'd have seen love take over the world

Baby I will be your priest
If you will be my bride
Let's be friends
Let's be lovers
Till love take over the world

All the dreamers of the golden dream will rise again
Closed their ranks around a faded world without end
Now beautiful and botched they stand
With a bouquet and a gun in hand
They'll serve the new world order until
Love take over the world

You'll find me lying on a bed of nails and broken glass
Covered by a blood-dimmed sheet of dust and ash
I fell the day before they stopped the war
Surrounded by the blood and gore
I'm the unknown soldier dead before
Love took over the world
