Album: The Black Flower (1999)

Absinthe

Take this down ca 1993
Grey dusk envelops the dying stream
Failing yet holding sway
Slowly going away

Grind me down, into the ground
Down again, when I drown
I've failed again

Absinthe always this way
Absinthe my loveless angel

Shaking nervously with intenser days
The pissant drags a bloody soul away
Building beds out of flesh
Rotting time, an empty caress

Grind me down, into the ground
Down again, when I drown
I've failed again

Absinthe always this way
Absinthe my loveless angel

A long way to go when chained to the earth
Yesterday was mourning today's a brighter dirge
