Laudanum Lyrics


Simple enough

I'm exhausted

Terrible noise

And vibration

Vision is black

Tormented days

Trembling hands

Of shallow dirt

Seems so long. The devils are strong

The burden is bigger everyday

Oh roses and poison...

Drunk in desire now

And long lost for you

In the meadows of nightmares

Oh roses and poison

Fire deep the throat

To sever the skin

I'm drowning myself

Into another drop of despair

Cripples my heart, tears it apart

I'm not giving up

Of dancing in the meadows of paradise

My words come filled with doom in this candle light

Now the cup is out of my sight

Gone into the far and darkened gloom

I dream for evermore felling the

loneliness of Lenore

Teach me dear raven

Where the sun doesn't burn

So I can finally dream of a poison

That will return

Oh help me gentle wine to last one more night

This heart is not mine

Guide me back to light

Simple enough

I'm exhausted

Terrible noise

And vibration

Vision is black

Tormented days

Trembling hands

Of shallow dirt

Seems so long the devils are strong

The burden is bigger every day

Oh roses and poison

Drunk in desire now

And long lost for you

In the meadows of a nightmare

Oh roses and poison

Teach me dear raven

Where the sun doesn't burn

So I can finally dream of a poison

That will return

Oh help me gentle wine to last one more night

This heart is not mine

Guide me back to light

Keep this bottle laid before me

Chanting ambary melodies

Of times that will never ever come

Another drop of green luxury

I'm drowning myself in laudanum and mercury

How can I regret the life I've sold

This winter day is so cold

I may dream for evermore

For a glance of the lost Lenore
