Nine years ago i fell in love

With a lady proud and fair

So passionate were she & i

We made fire in the air

I loved her more than life itself

She loved me just the same

And it broke my heart

To think we'd part if she ended the affair

But i was brutal, i was ignorant,

I was cruel, i was brash

I never gave a damn about

The beauty that i smashed

No sadist i, i found delight in

Making my love cry



Now i'd pray for a single kiss from her

To be lashed & crucified



And now i fear this lady fair

Can never more be mine

Long gone are nights in my lonely bed

All suffering and crying

And though i fear that thru this life

She'll call me only friend

'til i'm dead and buried in my grave

My love will never end
