LILT: Amour 1.0

I've laid this out as it's sung on the album. It seems more sensible to do so, as the verses are muddled a bit in the actual recording (relative to Jeremy's translation):

Love is a feral beast
It inhales you as it seeks
Broken hearts will make its nest
It hunts when romance is at its best
It sucks hard on your lips
And burrows in through your ribs
It drops softly as the snow
It burns and then it chills, pain's the final blow

Amour Amour
Alle wollen nur dich zähmen
Amour Amour am Ende
gefangen zwischen deinen Zähnen

Love is a feral beast
It lashes out at me and feasts
A thousand arms around my chest
As it drags me to its nest
It eats me up, every part
And afterward retches me back out
It drops softly as the snow
It burns and then it chills, pain's the final blow

Amour Amour
Alle wollen nur dich zähmen
Amour Amour am Ende
gefangen zwischen deinen Zähnen

Amour Amour
Alle wollen nur dich zähmen
Amour Amour am Ende
gefangen zwischen deinen Zähnen

Love is a feral beast
It inhales you as it seeks
Broken hearts will make its nest
It hunts when romance is at its best
It eats me up, every part
And afterward retches me back out
It drops softly as the snow
It burns and then it chills, pain's the final blow

Amour Amour
Alle wollen nur dich zähmen
Amour Amour am Ende
gefangen zwischen deinen Zähnen

Love is a feral beast
And its trap is complete
On you its eyes will feast
Enthralled as its gaze hits

Please help me escape it

No Chorus yet, and the German* is so pretty...

* With the French 'Amour', of course :P
