oblivion (n): they drank themselves into oblivion
- example of correct word usage from Wikipedia
Life drinks deep
the musty wine
of death's old bottles
of death's old bottles
and old casks (for all is death)
arranged in racks
arranged in racks
behind closed doors
of curled baroque
of curled baroque
on dusty shelves
And everywhere
where wine is drunk,
from Alpine hills
to pastured vales
and rugged shores
of gentle Wales
And everywhere

Death notes the vintage
of your bones
those painful bones
those painful bones
the bones you carry
to your daily task
- how busily he goes about his work
How sweet
that final dream
will be
to your daily task
- how busily he goes about his work
How sweet
that final dream
will be
when death alights
upon
your pillow
soft
upon
your pillow
soft
Ceasefire.
