A Desolation Song

Here I sit at the fire
 Liquor's bitter flames warm my languid soul
 Here I drink alone and remember
 A graven life, the stain of her memory
 In this cup, love's poison
 For love is the poison of life
 Tip the cup, feed the fire
 And forget about useless fucking hope
 Lost in the desolation of love
 The passions we reap and sow
 Lost in the desolation of life
 This path that we walk
 ♪
 Here's to love, the sickness
 The great martyr of the soul
 Here's to life, the vice
 The great herald of misery
 In this cup, spiritus frumenti
 For this is the nectar of the spirit
 Quench the thirst, drown the sorrow
 And forget about cold yesterdays
 Lost in the desolation of love
 
 The passions we reap and sow
 Lost in the desolation of life
 ♪
 This path that we walk
 Lost in the desolation of love
 The sorrows we reap and sow
 Lost in the desolation of life
 ♪
 The path that we walk
