A Soft Sip of Poison Lyrics

Softly sipping
From the venomous stream
Of a poisonous spring
Thence inebriated and oblivious
To the foulness of its spout

A shapeless solace
In its oldest form
Baleful beverage
To soothe a burdened soul

Flooded and gone were the sorrows
Forgotten and lost were the morrows

Once the flowing fountain
Of foolness had dried
The reefs appeared
And pierced the tide
Unveiling the shrouded wreckage
Its remains

It is in vain
That we try to drown
The catalyst of pain
(Solo: Bourbonnais - Allaire)
For the thorny crown of reality
Will always weigh heavily
Upon the weary head of sanity
And be a reminder of the frailty
Of our own honesty
