---

the serpent sheds its skin,

a hollow vessel filled with sin,

cast aside, a spell unbound,

squirming in fear, never to be found

a sliding shape, such wretched vermin,

encased - a palace of death determined

the magic it erodes, all the tales untold,

for i will arise, life unfolds

thrust into fog - of which i know not,

my psyche slowly starts to rot,

wandering into a treacherous hell,

falling victim to a slithering spell

unfold my skin, light flashes high,

veins melt away, start to die.

vision blurs, freezing fire,

i hunger for death

darkened rain - drips upon my face,

let bloom my wrath - takes it's place.

seismic trauma lie, festering away,

obscurity will breed, with it decay.

an inferno i am within - to cleanse and envelop me,

i am now sin.
