[Intro] [VERSE 1] Oh, life is so kind, and the thirst so cool, Yet you treat yourself like a battered fool. Oh, how cruel, how cold, your trembling hand, It giveth so much, then snatches it back again… [CHORUS] You speak of love, you whisper grace, Yet lies drip sweet from your bitter taste! The tongue that banished every sin, Now bites itself from deep within! [VERSE 2] You gave with joy, oh, gifts so grand, But now your trembling fingers clutch the sand. What is this game? A tragic jest? A poisoned kiss upon your breast? [CHORUS REPEATS] You speak of love, you whisper grace, Yet lies drip sweet from your bitter taste!The tongue that banished every sin, Now bites itself from deep within!
