Leaving, faithless, I depart your world behind,
Leaving, faithless, where your shadows unwind.
Leaving, faithless, from your earthly sphere,
Leaving, faithless, consumed by bitter tear.
Became another's bride, a stranger's prize,
Shattered my heart before my very eyes.
Became another's bride, a stolen ray,
Leaving, faithless, at the close of day.
My love, the cruel, you never understood,
The wounds you dealt, a poisoned, silent wood.
A gaze that pierced, where sorrows reside,
And in that hurt, my wounded heart did hide.
To whom to speak the sorrow I conceal?
To whom to pour my grief, the pain I feel?
In separation's flood, the tears did flow,
My love, the cruel, you never came to know.
I was your own, no stranger at your door,
But with another, you desired to soar.
You turned your face, a cold and distant art,
Leaving, faithless, with a broken heart.
Leaving, faithless, I depart your world behind,
Leaving, faithless, where your shadows unwind.
Your vows, your promises, were lies and dust,
The one I cherished, whom I placed my trust.
The one I cherished, life's sweet melody,
Who crushed my heart, a shattered memory.
The cups you filled, for strangers you did give,
The cups you filled, and did not let me live.
While I stood there, an alien in the night,
Your vows, your promises, a blinding light.
The wounds you caused, they never will be healed,
What did you gain, your cruel design revealed?
By severing ties, my world falls to the floor,
Leaving, faithless, I depart and implore.
Leaving, faithless, I depart your world behind,
Leaving, faithless, where your shadows unwind.
Became another's bride, a stranger's prize,
Shattered my heart before my very eyes.
Became another's bride, a stolen ray,
Leaving, faithless, at the close of day.
Leaving, faithless, I depart your world behind,
Leaving, faithless, where your shadows unwind.
