Iratus Vir - 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
