It's a knife with a double edge
A roll of the dice
Standing face to face on the ledge
My impression of life
Oh, my heart is running aimless
In a figure of eight
Trying hard to find an exit
Before it is too late

In this fortress of our love
Walls are caving in
I hear no signs from above
What's the state I'm in?

Love equals war equals life
I will never understand you woman
Sharp shooting knives
Love equals war equals life
I will never shy away anymore
Love equals war equals life

A kiss and then we run
It's all in the game
Too much of pride and guilt now
Has left me insane
When all the mountains crumble
When yin and yang collides
When love assumes a rumble
A hazardous walk on ice

In this fortress of our love
Walls are tumbling down
I hear only city noises
From this crazy town

Love equals war equals life
I will never understand you woman
Sharp shooting knives
Love equals war equals life
I will never shy away anymore
Love equals war

When all the mountains crumble
When love assumes a rumble

Love equals war equals life
Love equals war equals life
I need to tell you, I need to tell you
I feel like I'm at war
I feel like I'm at war with myself
Our love is like a battlefield
Love equals war equals life
Our love is like a battlefield
Love equals war equals life
