The Serpent

The snake that tries to find you
Infects you in your sleep
The venom starts to unwind you
As it penetrates so deep

They'll unlock your secrets
No protection from the pain
Exposing every weakness
In a case that won't inveigh

Defying verity
With poison charity
Always proclaiming a final decree

Intoxicating bite
They lay there waiting all day and night
Exaction sharp as a knife
This time I'm ready to fight

I'm staring down the serpent
As he rears his wicked head
I'm going with the current
And my mind replete with dread

I verge upon the enemy
Close enough to see the fang
Attack his coiled body
Before I become the prey

Don't be mesmerized
By their enchanting eyes
There to trap you
To hypnotize

Intoxicating bite
They lay there waiting all day and night
Exaction sharp as a knife
This time I'm ready to fight
Come and get me

With imposing power and might
You can feel the serpent rising again
Invisible

You can sense his stare
Then you realize
Understand
You're merely dead

Intoxicating bite
They lay there waiting all day and night
Exaction sharp as a knife
This time I'm ready to fight

Into the haze of night
Secretly stalking your venomous life
Patiently waiting for light
They're never too far behind
Come and get me
