Paroles de Nepenthe

It’s a blinding, pervasive light Today the sunrise is vermillion I will drink the tears of the stars Fill me with flames, shortcircuit my neurons I probe the intangible spectra Whisper truths to the ones who can’t speak Climb out from the stifling void Emerge the rising sons of neptune But the path is perilous Beware the siren’s call, it churns and swells A respite to distract from the trail, but The nepenthe It kills Cast it aside It allures, but the concoction is sinister You shall not trespass at the gates of gods Avert our wanton eyes, preclude our inquiries With hollow stimulation and promises of eternity Reject the nepenthe Follow the serpentine vermillion to the brink of existence
