Once I had a life so rare 
Beauty lived inside the lair 
Desdemona straight and true 
Desdemona gold and blue 
Well I lost my Desdemona 
With my own hands I destroyed her 
Yes I lost my Desdemona 
I fell for lies, I fell for lies 
 
Poison in my ear at night 
Took away my appetite 
I couldn't hold on to the pain 
Something broke inside my brain 
Well I lost my Desdemona 
With my own hands I destroyed her 
Yes I lost my Desdemona 
I fell for lies, I fell for lies 
 
Never has a man been born 
Who can take a woman's scorn 
Nor tasted a more bitter wine 
Than the brewing of his mind 
Yes I lost my Desdemona 
With my own hands I destroyed her 
Yes I lost my Desdemona 
I fell for lies, I fell for lies
