    The speaker expresses their grief over their lover who is dying in their arms, swearing to care for them as long as they live but knowing their own life will be empty without their love. The speaker vows that once their lover has passed, they will seek revenge on whatever caused their death, having been driven mad by the pain and emptiness that will follow.
