I tried my hand at pokerThat old, godless gameI was dealt five acesI swear on Peter's nameSooner cheat Death than fool LoveLove is not a tower, as the poets sayEven the loftiest prison can be escapedI wish I never met you, of that I'm sureI aint any better off than I was beforeI'll sooner reach Taenarumand into the lower worldsteal the Helm of Darknessthan Love another girlSooner cheat Death than fool LoveLove is not a chemical, nor molecular cloneI can't remember the last time I felt so aloneI'm sick as a dog, still my Love rings trueI aint any better off than I was with youCheat on Death and taxesCheat the money from wealthBut if you try to fool LoveYou'll only fool yourself
