Oh, the chains of this world
like an earthly hell
Oh, how the envelope me
seeking to bind
in a prison of eternal sorrow and pain.
Oh, how I struggle for the key
to unlock your body and soul.
Oh, a treasure I have long dreamed of
since the days unborn.
Oh, heavenly angel
for you alone I die
and for you I shall live  evermore.
Oh, other men
how they climb their mountain
and swim their deepest seas
and the whole world seek to conquer.
But you alone are my goal
and your heart
worth the hearts of a thousand angels.
Oh, and though I must struggle
till the stars fall from the sky
and the world grow old and die
I  shall not cease
till I hold you in my arms
and your heart is mine
and forever together we are bound.
