Nightshade (mandragora Ii) Lyrics

Botanist Nightshade (mandragora Ii)

Solanaceae
Five fused conical flowers
Spawning dehiscent capsules

Stamens four by four
Polyploid chromosomes of twelve
Alkaloid

Hypogenous synacarp
Gynoecium oblique

Atropine fate
Cut the cord of life
Muscarine
Ataxia

Hyosyamine
Atropine anticolingenic
Acetylcholine inhibition
Ataxia smote
Proprioceptive hindrance
Tropane

Sinoatrial node firing

Hypogenous synacarp
Gynoecium oblique

Atropine fate
Death sentence passed
Hyoscine
Delirium

Atropine fate
Cut the cord of life
Muscarine
Ataxia
