Ballads of the Doomed Lover

I. 'The Announcement'
Amongst a screaming cheering horde
Drunk with poison freshly poured
You here profess your love for me
With all to hear and all to see
Flattered, dumbstruck by your charms
I rush now headlong to your arms

II. 'Fantasy-Land'
Perfect mind and perfect soul
All is one and all is whole
Filled with sweet and sultry yearning
Love between us brightly burning
Lowly mortals long ago-
Now immersed in Heaven's glow 

III. 'Uncertainty'
Nagging thoughts consume my mind
With fear and worry most unkind
They claim the Angel's love and mine
Is only human, not divine
These wicked doubts are wretched sin
I keep them bottled up within

IV. 'The Fall'
Everything I tried to hide
Buried long and deep inside
Rushes out in putrid bile
Fuming, foaming all the while
We each reveal our ugly face
Falling quickly now from grace

V. 'The End'
Out of sight and out of mind
We leave each other far behind
Every tender word I said-
Blown away and stricken dead
Sickly love and blind desire-
Ashes strewn in dying fire
