Viper Song - Unto Ashes

Into the night I run and vainly seek your flesh

Your silken scales make promises of delight

Into the void, my love, your false light beckons

After you sink your teeth into my neck

Will you cry out in the passion of the moment?

Or writhe around the bed to free yourself?

Into the harsh sunlight you try to cast me out

And in this light I see the viper’s face

Goodbye to you my dearest serpent near…
