when love is lost and all is frost I clamor for most only to get tossed all color is lost the fire is doused the life of a ghost has me as its host is life to me closed? while sentiment was forced I knew I had lost my wants, as always, paused all around is frigid all taste is tepid my appetites turn arid everything tastes acrid am I paying for what I did? aye, 'tis the price of my misdeed a waver from my principles solid a turn to the sordid my desire unsorted I turn decrepid I abandon all that is avid and fall into this darkness so rabid
