The heart asks pleasure first,
And then, excuse from pain;
And then, those little anodynes (a medicine that relieves pain)
That deaden suffering,

And then, to go to sleep;
And then, if it should be
The will of its Inquisitor, (a person who investigates in a harsh way)
The liberty to die.

The heart asks pleasure first,

And then, those little anodynes (a medicine that relieves pain)
That deaden suffering,

And then, to go to sleep;
And then, if it should be
The will of its Inquisitor, (a person who investigates in a harsh way)
The liberty to die.
