The Voice Of Fire

from A Waltz for Apophenia by A Dream of Poe

lyrics

Someone knocks on the door.
Takes me out of the lore.
Too broken on the floor
To answer to anyone anymore.

I can see you Methe.
Your drunken spirit takes over.
Wanting me ever closer
To your bosom.

We are the couple of death,
We breathe Bacchus breath.
We crippled all we could ever have.
Why happiness when we can be damned and mad?

Feed me your liqueur,
The liquid from your veins.
Make me numb and tender.
From the emerald fluid make my chains.

What is this I see?
My blurred vision is fooling me
An odd presence at the door;
A presence I can no longer ignore.

A luminous figure revealed
The glowing compassion I feared.
I reached for the glass and the man sneered.
I called for lethargy.

Save me from this loathsome man,
Oh spirit of intoxication.
Make real my final liberation:
No hope, no surrender, just annihilation

Someone knocked on the door.
Took me out of my lore.
Entered a man who came ashore
To show me the light I abhor.

Oh Cesar, take back your empire.
I’ve got no more strength to conspire.
Taint my absinthe with hemlock,
And let me dwell in ancient Death’s loch.
