In the time of knights
In grim days (days days)
For the Reaper
there is always something to reap (reap reap)
But the hostage of piety
Fear of God and morality
The commandment of abstinence
Makes life quite painful
[Chorus]
Because only the power of my romance
The strength of my voice
Comes upon your little heart like fire, so hot
In order to win this battle
I steal your senses away
And tonight I'll bring you proof
I'm the master of romance
[Verse 2]
And therefore I sing of heartache
Of passion and desire (desire desire)
I celebrate tenderness
But never get anything more
[Chorus]
Because only the power of my romance
The strength of my voice
Comes upon your little heart like fire, so hot
In order to win this battle
I steal your senses away
And tonight I'll bring you proof
Because only the power of my romance
The strength of my voice
Comes upon your little heart like fire, so hot
In order to win this battle
I steal your senses away
And tonight I'll bring you proof
I'm the master of romance
[Chorus]
Because only the power of my romance
The strength of my voice
Comes upon your little heart like fire, so hot
In order to win this battle
I steal your senses away
And tonight I'll bring you proof
Because only the power of my romance
The strength of my voice
Comes upon your little heart like fire, so hot
In order to win this battle
I steal your senses away
And tonight I'll bring you proof
I'm the master of romance
Woohoo (woohoo)
Master of romance (yeeeaaah)
Master of romance
Specifically, "die Minne" refers to "courtly love" in the Medieval sense, which is more romantic/poetic than carnal/physical. So the speaker is a master of romance, but sexually frustrated due to the norms of the time.
