Iponah: Serpent's Promise


Only once in my lifetime I’ve seen the truth
As an undead being I crept to become understood
Had I just died twice, got drowned the both times?
Because of that or what for
this utter darkness satisfies me more and more?
Is that what I adore
day by day more and more?

A serpent's promise -
- like a twisted kiss
A man-made symbol of all this
A serpent’s kiss -
repulsive way to perish
- the attractive lust that I miss

Death, the sweet daydream only
for a man dying every day more and more
Awaiting for someone to spill his gore!

I drank the blood he poured from my skin
I ate the flesh which he dwelled within
Therefore I died and discussed with nazarene
I was promised to rule the dimensions unseen
The dream became true and there was no sanctity
as no-one could resist me in his serpent's majesty

This is all about the filth that equals truth
that I reached for to become understood
I died all the times, by own hands only twice
Because of that or what for
this utter darkness satisfies me
