Veiling false eyes

Spoken under breath

Whispers born of lies

Deceit and death

Hear the footfalls

They march for you

Storms, a child's cry

Winds, sighs a widow

Where once was a vaunted spirit

Only hate remains

The coiling serpent strikes

Hooded in deepest shadow

Grasping for your throat

A new name for an old lie

Drumming thunder

Voices rise

Crying out for

Hope's demise

Dark words are a weapon

Cruel orate

Fear of the other

Drown it in blood

A dagger most vile

It twists from within

Liar. Fear. Monger. Anger. Suffer. Murder.

Where once was a vaunted spirit

Only hate remains

The coiling serpent strikes

Hooded in deepest shadow

Grasping for your throat

A new name for an old lie
