My toxine, my elixirs,
became my shield inside my blood.
Powers I kept clandestine,
the grail of toxicology.
Comets announced my birth,
long before my fathers poisoning.
I fled into the wilderness where
serpent venoms strengthened me
to kill my enemies.
Assassination attempts failed
by antidotes of the nightshade.
Sneaks were sacrificed
to the pontian beast -
Hannibal of the east.
Chariots were spiked with blades.
Thousands deceased by my raids,
by the poison king´s arrival.
Shockwaves of nemesis
of Rome´s relentless rival.
From the black sea came a storm,
the vesper of ephesos.
Ingenuity and alchemy,
secrets of my mastery.
Mithridatium
flew through my veins
and my mythos will remain.
The convicted tasted my remedy.
I led the molten gold flow
down their throats,
a last supper for all the greedy.
Mithridatium.
The taste of invulnerability.
Mithridatium.
Eyes of my portraits shall make you fear.
Mithridatium
...and many will come after me.
