The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Here I sit at the fire

Liquor's bitter flames warm my languid soul

Here I drink alone and remember

A graven life, the stain of her memory

In this cup, love's poison

For love is the poison of life

Tip the cup, feed the fire

And forget about useless fucking hope

Lost in the desolation of love

The passions we reap and sow

Lost in the desolation of life

This path that we walk

Here's to love, the sickness

The great martyr of the soul

Here's to life, the vice

The great herald of misery

In this cup, spiritus frumenti

For this is the nectar of the spirit

Quench the thirst, drown the sorrow

And forget about cold yesterdays

Lost in the desolation of love

The passions we reap and sow

Lost in the desolation of life

This path that we walk

Lost in the desolation of love

The sorrows we reap and sow

Lost in the desolation of life

The path that we walk
