Growing ever bolder
While Insanity her sister
Places a cool hand
Upon your frail shoulder

Despair
The lady in waiting
For that which is and shall remain
The ruler of all
As sadness fell in stormy gray waves
When the heart pain again called

Oh how deep the depth of the dagger
Endless the loss of love go
Secret torture of those caressed by passion
The coursing of desires flow

Is madness creeping round your mind
Growing ever bolder
While Insanity her sister
Places a cool hand
Upon your trembling shoulder
