Viper
Death to the viper and his cunning pan piper
May his forked toung
Never rake youth
May it never slay young
Once we break his scales
As he shreded our fairy tales
Make lost his eyes
So done our our cries
Now we shatter each fang
To show fury we gain
We rip out his bones
And drag him to land none owns
So he may slither and shake
Lest he stay never to wake
May his forked toung
Never rake youth
May it never slay young
Once we break his scales
As he shreded our fairy tales
Make lost his eyes
So done our our cries
Now we shatter each fang
To show fury we gain
We rip out his bones
And drag him to land none owns
So he may slither and shake
Lest he stay never to wake

I see the viper as a predator, murderer, rapist, pedophile... The youth is the victim, the innocent. To me, the words inspired a desire to guard and protect children, women, the elderly, the week and helpless. And may justice and punishment be brought to those who would engage in hideous, monstrous acts. That's what I got from your words.
