They say that you have gone;
That you have left me here in this cold, empty world.
The dead earth falls between my fingers:
The last blanket that you will ever use.

Why did you leave me here?
Tear-blinded eyes cannot find you.
My mind cannot accept the fact
That you abandoned me.

Wine cannot drown my sorrow.
Time cannot numb my pain.
I will live forever with my fatal wounding
Because you have carved away my soul.

There is nothing for me here without you.
No friends have I to comfort me.
No words are spoken to the grieving widow:
Nothing cares about my loneliness.

You swore we'd be together,
That our love would never end.
But you have left me far behind.
My soul lies buried in your grave.

Wine cannot drown my sorrow.
Time cannot numb my pain.
There is nothing for me but the taste of poison;
The widow's drink that will heal my fatal wound.
