(verse)
I am the tragedy
And the heroine
I am lost And I am rescuing
The storm is come
And I am following
My name is Tristan
And I am alive
Forever young
I come from God knows where
'Cos now I'm here
Without a hope or care
I am trouble
And I am troubled too
My name is Tristan
And I am alive
(chorus)
ESoF#rroG#mw by G#mname
And sorrow by nature
Working for joy
On overtime
Stuck on a line
Of misadventure
I fear no crime
(verse, riff or G#m)
I am the victim
And the murderer
You speak of love
But I've never heard of her
I am fucked
And I am fucking too
My name is Tristan
And I am alive 
(chorus)
ESoF#rroG#mw by G#mname
And sorrow by nature
Working for joy
On overtime
Stuck on a line
Of misadventure
I fear no crime
