Hark, I say, lend your ears,
Oh, listen close, attend my song.
Attend, my friends, the words I bring,
Today, today, the moment's strong.
For tomorrow's tale can wait,
Attend my words, the truth I sing.
Attend, my friends, the words I bring.

At midnight's hour, she emerged,
A serpent queen, in graceful sway,
At midnight's hour, she emerged,
A serpent queen, in dark array.
Her venom spilled, a river crossed,
The water turned a somber gray,
Her venom spilled, a river crossed,
The water turned a somber gray.
The lovers drank, and met their end,
The lovers drank, their spirits fled,
They drank the river's poisoned draught,
Attend, my friends, the words I sing,
Attend, my friends, the words I bring.
Today, today, the moment's strong,
For tomorrow's tale can wait,
Attend my words, the truth I sing,
Attend, my friends, the words I bring.

The heart, a sinner old and deep,
From love's embrace will never cease,
The heart, a sinner old and deep,
From love's embrace will never cease.
With glances cast, a meager price,
For hearts to gamble, find no peace,
With glances cast, a meager price,
For hearts to gamble, find no peace.
They win, and madness takes its hold,
They win, and madness takes its hold,
And lose, condemned to wretched plight.
Attend, my friends, the words I sing,
Attend, my friends, the words I bring.
Ho, ho, ho, ho!

The cup in hand, the lovers roam,
Now beggars in love's cruel decree,
The cup in hand, the lovers roam,
Now beggars in love's cruel decree.
They gamble hearts in every street,
With passion's cards, a tragedy,
They gamble hearts in every street,
With passion's cards, a tragedy.
Unwed, they die, the lovesick band,
Unwed, they die, the lovesick band,
Laila's promise, barren land.
Attend, my friends, the words I sing,
Attend, my friends, the words I bring.
Attend, my friends, the words I bring,
Attend, my friends, the words I bring.
Attend, my friends, the words I bring.
