Contend
Let's contend no more, my love
there's no one to hear your cries
let's contend no more, my love
and no one to deliver you from my side

Fate has dealt you a mighty blow
by lending you to my grasp
but worry not the future, my love
consider this day your last

Let's contend no more, my love
the pain's really not so bad
let's contend no more, my love
for the fun we have yet to truly have

My infinite devotion you did not want
and that is indeed a mortal shame
for you had yet to figure, my love
I'm one truly screwed up dame

Let's contend no more, my love
your suffering is near an end
let's contend no more, my love
for my wounds I can finally mend

Though I hate to watch your tan physique
flow with the sparkling crimson tears
it gives this aching heart a sigh to breathe
to hear your desperate pleas
so gently whispered
in my ears
