Sleep in the tombs
Skeletons of ancient
Serene men of virtue
Brutally taken away

You offer yourself without thought!
His heart was never yours for taking;
Yet in ignorance you fed me lies!

embrace your special gift
of being alive
there's no prizes

is life

finished with her foolish lying
he moves carefully
not to touch anything of hers
