Absinthe

Fleshgod Apocalypse-Absinthe

[Sailor:]

A sea to sail alone

This glass of Fée Verte and nothing else

My one way journey into the storm

Surpassing the Pillars of Hercules

[Sailor:]And I can't go back anymore

[Absinthe:]I'm gonna hold you tight

[Sailor:]I have no choice, I can't return

[Absinthe:]So do I

[Absinthe:]

En route towards the dawn

Forever, together

Green is the pain, green is the drug

We melt like sugar

[Sailor:]

Come whisper words of love

Inebriate my soul again

"Emerald nectar, let me be mad!"

As Charon's taking my hand

[Sailor:]The compass points to hell

[Absinthe:]I will stand by your side

[Sailor:]I spin in the spiral of distress

[Absinthe:]Come drink the night

[Sailor:]Can hear the sound of death-knell

[Absinthe:]Gently harmonizes your cry

[Sailor:]Life is a sip, I guzzled it all

[Absinthe:]So time has come to die

[Absinthe:]

Doomed is your existence

Superfluous living thing

To dissolution you belong

Hydrate your withered "I" with Artemisia's tears

Wollow in self-pity all along

Seek for excuses to justify the fault

Distill the memories to mystify the truth

[Absinthe:]

Dearth of willpower

Hiatus of inner strength

Offense to the entire human race

Pure blood abortion of a long line of undead

Expression of mother nature shame

The arms of Morpheus are cradling your soul

Diluting torments in the night

And Dionysus is singing loud your requiem

A wordless threnody for the weak one

[Absinthe:]I

[Sailor:]We went to far astray

[Absinthe:]Absinthe

[Sailor:]To seek an inner grace

[Absinthe:]Torment

[Sailor:]But what we found was pain

[Absinthe:]And delight

[Sailor:]And sorrow

[Absinthe:]I

[Sailor:]We went to far astray

[Absinthe:]Absinthe

[Sailor:]To seek an inner grace

[Absinthe:]Torment

[Sailor:]But what we found was pain

[Absinthe:]And delight

[Sailor:]And sorrow

[Absinthe:]I am the cleansing flame

[Sailor:]Muse of the poets and painters

[Absinthe:]What I create I can erase

[Sailor:]For god's sake!

[Absinthe:]Nightmare of parisian nights

[Sailor:]Why did you do this to me?

[Absinthe:]To kiss the moon this is the price

[Sailor:]I should never let the sun in

[Absinthe:]

En route towards the dawn

Forever, together

Green is the pain, green is the drug

As I'm your only god

En route towards the dawn

Forever, together

Green is the pain, green is the drug

As I'm your only god
