Danny Speicher - Tortured, Tormented and Torn

Oh, soul, so tortured, tormented and torn
Between this great love gained and love forlorn
Irony... How cruel to a lover's heart
Her soul to find, only to be apart

On these days, I wish not to have been born
Oh, soul, so tortured, tormented and torn
With lovers together, faces of glee
Only thoughts of how far she is from me

Aye, all days are not to be joy-laden
Naught are these... I, dreaming of my maiden
Oh, soul, so tortured, tormented and torn
Won't you take from my mind this painful thorn?

Though halt that request if it were to be
By removing pain, she'd be lost to me
I'd make the sacrifice and lonely mourn
Oh, soul, so tortured, tormented and torn
