- of the death of love -

in the deathly stillness of a lonely night
i heard a heart cry out
a desperate plea of mercy
from a long and weary bout

as the cruel stab of merciless love
plunged deeper into the soul
it fell twisting downward deeper
into life's most dreaded hole

fate played it's most devilish die
a misfortune being told
leaving it to wither and weaken
in the early morning cold

as the night grew on more wearily
it gave it's most desperate shout
in the deathly stillness of a lonely night
i heard a heart cry out
