Lament of the Abandoned

​

Tell me what sort of evil has beset me

That I think of her while she forgets me?

How long? How long?

And what kind of fraud do you think that I'll be?

 

When all of the flaws that I can't hide within myself

Start coming out

And how long? How long?

 

In the eyes of love done wrong

And egregious sins that break our thrones

Will I say

"So long?"

When the rusted steel that ties our hands

Shatters us and breaks the bands

Of our love

Was I wrong?

 

Well I promised and you promised too

With burning hearts we said "I do"

But I've heard that time makes liars

Of us all

 

But I took your hand and you took my name

With solemn vows love sparked a flame

But I know that tears quench fires after all.

 

What sort of devil has taken me

 

In the eyes of love done wrong

And egregious sins that break our thrones

Will I say

"So long?"

When the rusted steel that ties our hands

Shatters us and breaks the bands

Of our love

Was I wrong?
