The Fine Art Of Poisoning
The Elaborate Art of Poisoning: A Tale of Vengeful Schemes
Lyrics
it's quite an elaborate scheme
Planning a complex and detailed plot
the fine art of poisoning
Mastering the skill of poisoning
the dose to comatose
Administering a dose to induce a state of unconsciousness
slyly administered
Secretly given in a clever manner
not for the frail of heart
Not suitable for those easily frightened
the vengeful must play their part
Those seeking revenge must fulfill their role
a friend to the bitter end
Being a loyal friend until the very end
or so they say
A common belief, or so it's claimed
nice and slow
Proceeding at a leisurely pace
misfortune will flow
Misfortune will follow gradually
peril in the nursery
Danger in the children's room
it seems a tainted pastry
A poisoned pastry causing harm
one bite what a dreadful fright
A single bite leading to a dreadful fright
she was such a delicate little dish
Describing a fragile and delicate person
a pleasant parlour gathering
A pleasant social gathering in the living room
quicksilver concealed in a ruby ring
Mercury concealed in a valuable ring
two lumps or three
A reference to adding poison to tea (metaphorically)
i have always adored bergamot tea
Expressing a fondness for bergamot tea
nice and slow
Continuation of the slow and deliberate process
misfortune will flow
Anticipation of misfortune unfolding gradually
but who will know?
Raising the question of whether the act will be discovered
