Scorpio

When dusk embraces the autumn chill
The last rays of the sun’s warmth are killed
Giving new rise to Hades’s mystic child

Sanctuary in that which is hidden
Unlocking the doors to all forbidden
What is mine no-one can ever find

Penchant for the morbid, purveyor of the sordid
Twists and turns that can’t be followed

Pass beyond the point where none return
Placid icebergs give way to
Erupting scorching volcanoes

Lurking in the shadows honing my precious venom
Lash out without warning
Ready to strike at any threat

Strike all down

Spawn of the underworld
Arise from ashes burnt
Spawn of the underworld
Arise from ashes burnt

Piercing frozen eyes see right through charades
Deceiving serpent tongues put in their place
Turning my back on their hollow kind

Lifting up the curtains of the night
The space behind holds such grand sights
Unveiled to those who seek them out

Dark water projections in black mirror reflections
Image of arcane perfection

Under the cloak of secrecy
The universe whispers onto me
Of life and death’s untold mysteries

Lurking in the shadows honing my precious venom
Lash out without warning
Ready to strike at any threat

Lurking in the shadows honing my precious venom
Lash out without warning
Ready to strike at any threat
