Love Will Conquer All Lyrics

When the castle in your head
Grows so cold
And you've broken all the bread
Your daddy sold, are you feeling old.

Did the war unload your mind
Is the fog too thick to shine
From her towers high
She can see your light
Hear the horses moan
Get up off your throne

Take your banner off the wall
For queen and country call
Love will conquer all
Love will conquer all

Fingers without hand
tearing at your string
(So long, alone)
We have a poison plan
it's more than a bad dream

Take your banner off the wall
for queen and country call
Love will conquer all
Love will conquer all
Love will conquer
Love will conquer
Love will conquer
Love will conquer all

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Love Will Conquer All lyrics by Non-Commissioned Officers, The

by rfazz15

It seems to me like it's about a king who put relationships out of the way in pursuit of fame and success. When he finally reaches the top he realizes that he was letting himself miss out on something important. He hides his feelings by saying he's too busy taking official business, like waging war. But his feelings are too strong, and he realizes that the one he loves is waiting for him. Ultimately, he can't conquer his feeling because love is too strong of an emotion to suppress.

"fingers without hand" most likely means he's longing to hold someones hand. So he's "tearing at his string" or trying to break away from whatever is holding him back. This is one of the lyrics I was unsure about, but "We have a poison plan, it's more than a bad dream." might mean that he's sabotaging himself without realizing the severity of the consequences.

I think it's just a beautiful song about how nobody wants to be alone, and love is more important than material possessions.

My interpretation is probably far from what was intended when it was written.
