Laudanum Songtext / Lyric

A Dream of Poe
Laudanum Lyrics
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
