Love is void and heartless
I worship the darkness
Here is my food and drink
The blood and flesh, stink
Smiling lips dripped red
Another helpless man dead
On the altar of desire
Burning in the unholy fire
No light for men like me
Love does not need to see
have we not heard cupid’s blind
and this is why we lose our mind
At the voice of Aphrodite
that we who were mighty
become weak in heart
tearing even the soul apart
Is there good in this evil love
any salvation from above
will I eat of joy again
I doubt I can make amend
