[bodytext] => Ritual of the Viper (I-III) Start of the Ritual - Startled Rested in peace Until this new piece came No longer rests The weight of false blame Time curls its tail And no mercy spares Beaten head to toe And new punishment dares Clinch your eyes And close your fists Bang your head to open What was, at first, missed You strain your neck To see what you hope is clear But you lost that privilege When you cut loose what was dear Mid Ritual - Coiled And now, in defense, it coils Deaf to its own blame Now awakened and sharp It seeks to play the game Sharp eyes, and quick tongue Full of venom, its fangs drip Waiting calmly, and still Waiting for the soul to rip It sees her approach Reflections in its eyes Reflections of the past And all that has died Bringing the Ritual Home - Striking Death sings to it Like a sick lullabye Mind is diseased And seeing red skies Blood flows like madness And pushes it on It can't stop for blood Until its all gone.
