Hearts are sore and torn in two by fickle love

We try to rise and gain the place in the kingdom above

But plans are thwarted and heartache grows

As love sinks and dies through lack of regard and shows

The death knell of true love in this vain and passing world

As the repercussions of dallying ways take hold

We cannot hold on to something so ephemeral

It passes out of favour and contravenes the eternal

Ripped and torn all love passes away in night

Left with the emptiness of passion’s endless fright

That this is all there is for us here

All we experience one wake of cruel fear

Deliver us from the bonds of earthly love and ties

That our souls will be released and into the blue flies

One more time after the plunge into the cold

As life reinvents itself and joy takes hold.
