Toxipharmakeia

Crawling through the shadows To suffer thine own plight A blackened soul immersed in this Never-ending night A timeless reign of sorrow On an empty throne With the sweetest-tasting poison That I've ever known The scent of her perfume Burning in my lungs A drunken fool wound too tight Is what I have become The way of the flesh My malevolent possession This Toxiphamakeia My deadly infection Living in a fog Where the demon lurks within Addiction devils pass From Father to kin Toxipharmakeia The Demon of Abuse I hear her horrid whispers And I know I can't refuse Locked inside this prison And I've swallowed my own key My own judge and jury With no will to give a plea Toxipharmakeia My fatal excession Toxipharmakeia My endless transgression The ashes They whisper It's the devil's breath Your soul Your life You burn them up and yet A figure there lies Amongst the ash and flame With an ember for a heart And he's ready to reclaim His place amongst the stars A home to rest his bones The fire in his heart will light The path to the unknown It guides him further down Through the darkness Till the sun's Glorious light is found
