The Serpent Dances

Faceless masks of malignant strides  
Burn me deep  
Be still the chides  
Fair-weather friends  
Fiendish foes  
Dawn on me forbearing woes  
Melancholy, she whispers back  
Tell me where my venue’s at  
Breathe in me  
Mysterious soul  
Adopt my mind  
Unwind control  
Guarding the deep  
Those will betray  
Tell me, love  
What comes my way  
Seize the night  
Slay the day  
Prepare the games you want to play  
Mindless pleasure  
The breadth of one  
Simmer until the moment’s done  
Shiver until lest, the goal is written  
The serpent dances and she’s been bitten  
Love me harder  
Sunder no less  
Fill the skies with bated breath  
Sell me Sunday  
I break tides  
No god for me  
Spirituality writhes  
Take no heart for what you hear  
Pay no less for what is near  
Taste the envy  
Spread it thin  
Indemnify what lies within
