climbed ladders and ledges
scaled mountains in pain
crossed deserts, dense jungle
to seek you again
found new worlds, discovered
black magic for you
endured endless torture
but you were untrue
with the strength I have mustered
on travels, I’ve learned
to mix poisoned potion
that will sting and flames burn
bedevil your life
like you’ve done to mine
you’ll drink of the chalice
disguised as fine wine
and suffer the torment
your love gave to me
in your death throes I’ll dance
and proclaim I am free
with splinters from ladders
stone fragments from ledge
herbs gathered from mountains
with this song I do pledge
that from deserts and jungles
where berries I plucked
I’ll cure my addiction
spell good from bad luck
serving you notice
while pestle I grind
bewitched till the end
and out of my mind
but soon from the bubbles
that boil in your name
I’ll climb no more mountains
to find you again
for I’ll drink from destiny
you’ll get your dues
in hell where you led me
I’ll be all over you
