Serpent's Embrace

One wish alone have I In some calm land beside the sea to die Upon its strand That I forever sleep The forest near, a heaven near Stretched over the peaceful deep That no one weeps my end Nor for me grieves But let the autumn lend Tongues to the leav

She was the dawn of a new day The crystal voice inside my head And at times she showed me eden Untrodden paths, a sky that's bleeding Serpent's embrace Serpent's embrace Darkness waiting in her eyes, her gaze Kissed by a fraudulent snake A soul eater

Curtains fall over my shroud, around my wrists the orchestra plays Frozen, this bosom aches, piercing lullabies, piercing preys Only cellos, black robes and gowns, dimly dance for air in grief And looming portraits of a mother gazing at my inner plea
