Thy Scent - Shade Empire

So are you in or are you not?

To open the knot

She asked me with a smile

Most mesmerizing and foul

How could’ve I known

That by accepting

I would be sucked

Into a vortex of madness?

And the way out

Would be lost for me

Until I would find the lock

That was however

Only step one

The key was buried

Inside a stone of goat

Protected by oath

Which one could not conjure

Without the knowledge

Of the night side

Oh, Absinthian

How beautiful are thy eyes

And thy scent of lust

Drives even the strongest man insane

(How did I get lost in this labyrinth?)

The flame in the candle is flickering

In the cold breeze

That must be the way out

(But I was wrong)

Oh, Absinthian

You cursed me

It would have been probably

Easier just to pull the teeth out

But I guess

For you it was never an option

Oh, Absinthian

How did your beauty

Turn so quick into cruelty?

This I must ask myself

Before I can use the key

Oh, Absinthian
