Yes! I've resolved this deed to do
and this is the place to do it
This heart I'll rush a dagger through
Though I in hell should rue it!
Hell! What is hell to a person like me,
Who pleasures never know;
By friends cosigned to misery,
By hope deserted too?
To ease me of
This power to think
That through my bosom raves
I'll headlong leap
From hell's high brink
And wallow in it's waves
Though devils yell
And burning chains may waken long regret
Their frightful screams
And piercing pains will help me to forget
Yes! I'm prepared
Through endless night
To take this fiery berth
Think not with tales of hell to fright,
Me, who am damned on Earth!
Sweet steel come forth
From your sheath
And glistening, speak your powers
Rip up
The organs of my breath
And draw my blood in showers
I Strike!
It quivers in that heart
Which drives me to this end
I draw and kiss the bloody dart
My last
My only friend!
