death's cobra snake

Behind closed eyes I dream of a love heaven sent

And watch as death’s cobra eyes awake to find her neck

She knows not why, she knows not how, but she gives him tenderness

And with fangs like ice he injects the pain of a love so poisonous

Bite gives way to kiss

Teeth devour lips

She invites pain, inside

Blood it falls and drips

Life aboard death’s ship

She invites pain, inside

Tears flow red like wine from the heart she can’t resist

As venom courses through her mind leaving only hollow bliss

What she can’t see, is that this union can’t be, doomed like Pluto to never exist

As pain sits still and love orbits around a heart that can’t forget

Bite gives way to kiss

Teeth devour lips

She invites pain, inside

Blood it falls and drips

Life aboard death’s ship

She invites pain, inside

When I awoke I cleared my eyes but I couldn’t clear my mind

Of the girl who made love to death’s cobra snake and lost him inside

I watched her beg, I watched her shake, I watched her die for pains embrace

And with one last sin I watched love win, as their hearts become one, thus ending the chase

Bite gives way to kiss

Teeth devour lips

She invites pain, inside

Blood it falls and drips

Life aboard death’s ship

She invites pain, inside
