Here I sit at the fire
Liquor's bitter flames warm my languid soul
Here I drink alone and remember

A graven life, the stain of her memory
In this cup, love's poison
For love is the poison of life

Tip the cup, feed the fire,
And forget about useless $#&@ing hope


Lost in the desolation of love
The passions we reap and sow
Lost in the desolation of life

This path that we walk

Here's to love, the sickness

The great martyr of the soul
Here's to life, the vice
The great herald of misery

In this cup, spiritus frumenti
For this is the nectar of the spirit
Quench the thirst, drown the sorrow

And forget about cold yesterdays

Lost in the desolation of love

The passions we reap and sow
Lost in the desolation of life
This path that we walk

Lost in the desolation of love
The sorrows we reap and sow
Lost in the desolation of life

The path that we walk
