1. By my life, one day I confided in someone
Who betrayed me to another I never feared would break my secret.

2. He tore it apart as a falcon tears its prey while it's unaware
And shouted about what I hid from him for all to hear.

3. I said, without cursing you profusely,
A messenger may stumble when he hurries.

4. I will not blame you, for I see forgiveness
As closer to righteousness and more ample.

5. But learn that it was a covenant between us
So part not blamed but bid farewell.

6. A discourse we both let slip - I will never see
You saved, until the end of time entire.

7. When you betrayed your secret, you found none but yourself
To blame for scattering and destroying it.
