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
