Below the Horizon He Stalks

Injecting venom into the stream Where the well thinking pigs drink As a serpent coiled around its prey Filling the blood stream with deathly toxin Tightening, restricting as the veins blacken Yet entranced by Apeps eyes To swallow the river of life And to bring chaos and strife Just below the horizon he stalks Waiting at dusk his whispers forked Then come dawn to strike the sun again Encircling the world in an eternal flame And in the end, our destiny like scales to be shed As the tail is released and we fall towards oblivion The light dies as worlds collide enraptured by the forbidden As the tale is told the strong crawl out from the darkest hole The serpent once again locks its jaws regeneration to behold.
