Thy Scent

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
