Serpent 05:01
Golden rings Separating crimson blood From black obsidian Coiled to spring Striking out with deadly aim Faster than an arrow Pierce the skin Digs its fangs within the flesh Delivering the venom Withering Leaving yet another victim The serpent's deadly kiss Feel the sting Inject into your veins Pulsating To infect the brain Crawling towards The abyss's call Gasping out A final moan Constricting Cutting off the flow of blood Circulation gone Restricting Ripping out the air from lungs Respiration done Slithering Sheds his skin and slips away Leave behind the prey Shivering As the body's warmth escapes From the serpents cold embrace Feel the grip Slowly clenching tight Strips away The burden of life Loose the binds Basking in the light Free the mind Just like Eve in Eden Unhinging The hungry jaw in preparation Of the coming feast Swallowing Swelling up to stretch the skin At point of bursting Retreating Satisfied the hunger, ready to Enter the slumber Awakens Once again to enter the cycle The serpent's circle

Senescence 03:00
What is the price of a life? The bonds depreciating It's value never rising Not a very wise investment Deep inside it breeds besieging Feasting on your being Within the cancer finds it hold Growing uncontrolled Cell Senescence Self selective exile Expired past it's shelf life The body sentenced to die It cuts the loss by cashing out In panic cell stock crashes down Shell shocked they stand and watch As the system falls apart Cell Senescence Sell the senses Unsuppressed decay A fate you can't escape

Trilogy 06:21
Trilogy The story Told in three Firstborn son Second one Namesaken Bearing the Burden of Lineage Hear my child Next in line Entitled Passing dowm Memories of A lifetime This is our Birthmarker Stain of blood My father And my son We are one Here we lie Side by side Three headstones Trinity Legacy Destiny

What is the essence of sin? The hunger claws us from within An impulse crawling in the skin Believe in a thing called fate The actions in this life that we take Will carry with us to the next Receiving knowledge from his tree Deceived by God to believe That all of sin we inherit from Eve Instead of a thing inherent In forming the essence of the soul The creator imparts a part of himself Humility, selflessness, and pride Turn into envy, lust, and vice Examine the code of morality The stones chiseled arbitrarily Passed to us from the gentry Hell bent to keep us beneath them The time comes to reach for the key Unlock the cage and breach the gates Beyond this state of humanity From which we will ourselves to free We learn from those who raise us Our not so blank slate stained black In our attempt to wash it An ankle hangs above the bath On a quest to find ourselves Examining our hidden faults Turn to face what remains of the past A salted path reminds us What is the essence of sin? A tradition of imperfection It is what makes us human
