Sweet oblivion the sleep of eternity
Why oh why are you so far from me
Brought back by misguided men
Leaving me to try again
The golden liquid smooth and fine
Edges glazing rough edges smoothing
The rattle of the pill box
Like music in my ears
I sway like the cobra
Its music drives me on
Another sip from the lips
Of the golden love
Rattling now in my throat
Music muffled
As I lay dying
Never to greet another day.
