Mark OToole Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
they keep bad at bay
Love is the light scaring darkness away
I'm so in love with you
make love your goal
The power of love
A froce from above
cleaning my soul
Love with tongues of fire
purge the soul
make love your goal
I'll protect you from the hodded claw
keep the vampires from your door
When the chips are down I'll be around
With my undying death defying love for you
Envy will hurt itself
Let yourself be beautiful
Sparkling light, flowers and pearls and pretty girls
Love is like an energy
Rushing in, rushing inside of me
ohhhh
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
This time we go sublime
lovers entwined devine deviene
love is danger
love is pleasure
Love is pure, the only treasure
I'm so in love with you
Make love your goal
This time we go sublime
Lovers entwined divine divine
Love is danger, love is pleasure
Love is pure, the only treasure
I'm so in love with you
Make love your goal
The power of love
A force from above
A sky scraping dove
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
Make love your goal
In Mark O'Toole's "The Power of Love," the lyrics express the transformative qualities of love as a force that can overcome darkness and fear. Dreams, often represented as a vulnerable time when fears and anxieties can take over, are compared to angels that can protect and keep bad things at bay. Love, then, is the light that scares darkness away and has the ability to clean one's soul. The repetition of the phrase "make love your goal" emphasizes the power of love as something that can be pursued and achieved.
The lyrics then shift from a focus on love's ability to protect and cleanse to its ability to ignite passion and desire. With the lines "flame on burn desire" and "love with tongues of fire," passion is portrayed as a purifying force. The song's message is further reinforced by the phrase "purge the soul." The song then returns to the idea of protection as the singer promises to "protect you from the hodded claw" and "keep the vampires from your door."
Overall, "The Power of Love" asserts that love is a transformative force that can conquer fears, ignite passion, and provide protection.
