Absinthe - Diabolique

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
