Rip this broken heart from my chest!
Result of such cruel jest.
No mortal can stand this test.

Rip this broken heart from my chest.
Allow me life in a way that's best.
Make me numb so I may rest.

Rip this broken heart from my chest.
By Thoth denied and refreshed,
remaining torn and cleft.

Rip this broken heart from my chest.
It's mercy, not theft.
I swear I won't contest.

Rip this broken heart from my chest.
In it's place a stone enmeshed.
Of life and love bereft.

Rip this broken heart from my chest,
and exit,
stage left.
