Spiritus Mortis

Heavy Drinker

Spiritus Mortis


I am on the streets again 
In my head a chaotic swarm 
This night will be cold 
Infernal liquids keep me warm 

Left alone, no friends in sight 
The streets are full of human scum 
Don't know where I shall sleep tonight 
Will tomorrow even come? 

Lord have mercy on my soul 
I feel sick inside 
Unable to find my goal 

Out of the blue, a familiar face 
A bottle of nitrate in my hand 
I am led to another place 

Sniffing and drinking 
Swallowing unknown pills 
Laughing and crying 
In every corner new thrills 

It's seven days and seven nights 
Since I was shanghaied from my home 
Now I lie in someone's basement 
And I do not know where to go... next!
