Days Of Leisure, Nights Of Pleasure
After nights of pleasure
suddenly it's dawn
After hoards of treasure
suddenly it's gone
After strong endeavor
suddenly you're spent
After perfect measure
suddenly you're bent
After days of leisure
suddenly it's toil
After acts of seizure
suddenly it's spoil
After years together
suddenly you're shrew
After oaths forever
suddenly you're threw
