Youth's fervor, a world I forsake,
Heart's tale, a vow I must make.
I speak, you hear, you speak, I heed,
Youth's fervor, a world I forsake,
Heart's tale, a vow I must make.
I speak, you hear, you speak, I heed,
Youth's fervor, a world I forsake,
Alas, heart's tale, a vow I must make.

Steals slumber, scatters sense,
Entangles robes in thorns intense.
Trust it not, this fleeting guise,
Shatters glass against stone's rise.
Steals slumber, scatters sense,
Entangles robes in thorns intense.
Trust it not, this fleeting guise,
Smashes glass against stone's rise.
This life itself, a world I forsake,
Youth's fervor, a world I forsake,
Oh, heart's tale, a vow I must make.

Tresses cascade, shadows they weave,
Monsoon clouds in breezes cleave.
To lift an eye, a fear takes hold,
On whom the heart will now unfold.
Tresses cascade, shadows they weave,
Monsoon clouds in breezes cleave.
To lift an eye, a fear takes hold,
On whom the heart will now unfold.
An old habit, a world I forsake,
Youth's fervor, a world I forsake,
Oh, heart's tale, a vow I must make.

Which flame, which moth, now known,
A few like us, forlornly sown.
Like us, a few, in shadow dwell,
The rest, consumed by love's spell.
Which flame, which moth, now known,
A few like us, forlornly sown.
Like us, a few, in shadow dwell,
The rest, consumed by love's spell.
This world, a madness I forsake,
Youth's fervor, a world I forsake,
Oh, heart's tale, a vow I must make.
I speak, you hear, you speak, I heed,
I speak, you hear, you speak, I heed,
Youth's fervor, a world I forsake,
Oh, heart's tale, a vow I must make.
