Nepenthe

Nile
I drink the milk of Ceres dread elixir
Crude nauseous wilful poison healing wounds unhealed
Purge vomit convulse collapse
I gain the knowledge Separate mind from body
I break open the skull
Papaver somniferum Ambrosia of the ancients
Morpheus god of dreams grants me
Entrance to the den of the wicked
Anarchy of dreaming sleep summons
Long dead harlots I kiss the queen of hell
Cleansed from the dishonours of the grave
Potent destroyer of grief abyss of divine enslavement
Thou hast the key to paradise Nepenthe
Every night i descend into chasms
And sunless abysses, depths below depths
From which i am hopeless to reascend
Thou hast the key to paradise Nepenthe
