The Poisoner

Tip of an arrow, end of the dart
The kiss of your lips, death's spinning sweet death
Waiting for dispatch, for a moment that's right
To launch your death blow, you are the poisoner!

A poisoned arrow, drawn to strike
You kill from afar, you are in control of time
We kill to survive, our love cast aside
We are like Judas, we are damned for all time

Chaos rising, dead in our tracks
A cinder dying, shining from afar you ride
You say it's a woman's way, I say it's a coward's game
From across the room, you kill with your eyes

You beat your soul, flows clean and white
From across the room, you kill with your eyes
You write it on a typewriter, through a wormhole of time
With your forked tongue of history, you are in control of time

You are the poisoner
Twisting words into poison
With your forked tongue of history
And you know, you are in control of time!

Nuclear winter, darkened skies
Staring on as ashes rise
I look around and all I see
Are the stunned faces of humanity
Staring on as ashes rise
Nuclear winter, darkened skies
Ignorance is bliss, it seems
But let you know the same for you'll be

And as I sit and wonder
And everything's on fire
I think about the warning signs
The people I love you left behind
And I'm over darling, from the fires of morning
The poisoner infects the mind, in control of all mankind
