Jean Lanfray Songtext
von Black Absinthe

All I feel is the shadow of death

Quarter day now gone
Slipped one down and we′re moving along
There is no joy feeding my disease
Cow, a wife, rotten milk for cheese
On the drink through the day
Set the stage of a horror play
What I've done to my wife
From screaming matches through the night

Our minds from last night
Our husks from this plight
Holding back thoughts what I′ll do

The drip grips better than any man ever has a hope of slipping away
Three lives taken the addict forsaken for what I've done
I am not this man


So part of routine it's boiling green now part of his soul in possession
Losing touch with the world was all he could control
The last words spoken left love broken across his trembling hands pleading mercy
Liquid muse to blame, like a cube to the flame, this man has melted away

His life (consuming everything)
Holy God (consuming everything)
The drink (consuming everything)
His life on the brink
Holy God to be seen
The drink is consuming everything

All I see is the smile of death, shining down upon me
All a man can do now is smile back

His life (consuming everything)
Holy God (consuming everything)
The drink
His life on the brink
Holy God to be seen
The drink is consuming everything
