Poison - Anna Eriksson

A snake has bitten me, it has made me weak,

God’s betrayed me, playing hide and seek.

So much joy keeps slipping through my fingers,

so much pain I’ve chosen on my way.

Seven serpents lying on my bed of fire,

oh how real the dream appears,

how strong the dark desire.

Hold me like our love was in its sweet beginning,

whisper all those lies you know I long to hear.

But you say that

Poison is drowning my poor heart

Poison is killing out our spark

Poison has made its ways in me

Poison let me go peacefully

Standing on the porch with a burning torch

Looking at the dark skies of Eden

Be my exorcist, drive the bad away

The lonely violinist plays and turns the sheets of days

So much joy you’ve laid upon my sorrow

So much shame you’ve taken of my name

You say that

Poison is drowning my poor heart

Poison is killing out our spark

Poison has made its ways in me

Poison let me go peacefully

Standing on the porch with a burning torch

Looking at the dark skies of Eden

Looking at the dark skies, looking at the dark skies of Eden

Looking at the dark skies, looking at the dark skies of Eden

Poison is drowning my poor heart

Poison is killing out our spark

Poison has made its ways in me

Poison you and I eternally

Standing on the porch with a flaming torch

Looking at the dark skies of Eden
