My whole life is a lie
Constricted as one might be
Mercy is coming to thee
Darken eyes! yet behind lies
or as untold truth it'd be disguised
Darkness white as the light
Light sorrow as a deep gloom
Yet dragging me through the night
where only fire could have shine
Against my mercy, my hollow
fighting with the deepest desire
to the latest point of my try -
My whole life is a lie
