1. They betrayed, yet I keep the covenant they made
If only they felt some of the pain I bear

2. How quick they were to betray and break their word
Failing in loyalty, their promises unfulfilled

3. With treachery they wronged me, and yet they knew
None suffered as I did, none so bereaved

4. I grieve for them, as memories bring back
Sorrows unceasing, pain without an end

5. Grief took hold of my heart and my soul
Leaving me no heart or soul that's whole

6. Who can stem the flood of anguish from one in love
When longing's paths run through his heart's abode

7. My heart's a captive, surrounded by a host
Of sorrows beyond count, beyond any road

8. Love brandished swords of death that brightly flashed
To take my life, but patience and composure prevailed

9. Thoughts of you make me faint when they cross my mind
With all the pain for you my heart must bear

10. As if time made us envious of each other
Though God's grace comes with envy, we know

11. God will judge between me and you
For you I suffered, while my enemies exulted in you
