When
Drank slowly, I did
From the glass of bitterness
And my heart sank
Stirring the ashes of anger
Rising to the back of my throat
Leaving a taste of sacrifice
A wasted sacrifice
A taste I could never forget nor suppress
Though I may try, but to no avail
How much longer must I feel
The cold of betrayal
Under this moon dead and pale
Never able to move
Never able to acquire
Life, not death
And love instead of fire
From the glass of bitterness
And my heart sank
Stirring the ashes of anger
Rising to the back of my throat
Leaving a taste of sacrifice
A wasted sacrifice
A taste I could never forget nor suppress
Though I may try, but to no avail
How much longer must I feel
The cold of betrayal
Under this moon dead and pale
Never able to move
Never able to acquire
Life, not death
And love instead of fire
