Beneath the dusk shadows lay

A serpent's smile in false array

Soft words like poison's kiss

In the garden we lost our bliss

Eyes that shine with hollow light

Feigning warmth in endless night

Secrets weave a tangled thread

Lies they tell and trust is bled

Oh, the serpent's cold embrace

In a world of masked grace

Promises that break like glass

Friends and lovers from the past

Hearts entwined in fragile bonds

Laced with dreams and false beyonds

Betrayal's sting a silent cry

In the dark our spirits fly

Mirrors crack revealing lies

The serpent's grip a cold disguise

Yet from the pain new strength is born

A rising sun in love's forlorn

Oh, the serpent's cold embrace

In a world of masked grace

Promises that break like glass

Friends and lovers from the past

Beneath the skin the venom flows

A hidden truth that no one shows

In the garden shadows grow

The serpent's path through which we go

In the end we shed the past

From ashes rise anew at last

The serpent's hiss a fading tune

Underneath the silver moon

Oh, the serpent's cold embrace

In a world of masked grace

Promises that break like glass

Friends and lovers from the past
