Tonight the dwindling stars will die
And so your frozen heart deny
When all the truths begin to lie
And faith and facts go crashing by
Tonight shall I be punished still
For all the thoughts I failed to kill
The dark malignant shades reveal
The sins and lies the night distill
Tonight the stolid vow I broke
Shall cast on me its weary yoke
And you its instrument invoke
Unjust deserts with every stroke
Tonight my stoic soul is bent
To grief's unceasing siege relent
No pillage can my heart prevent
When all its fight and fire is spent
Tonight I ask the question why
Despite with all my will defy
My spirit quenched, my mind decry
My heart is broken where it lies
