Downwards The Serpent Spiral

Turn thy head, little one
Lest thou might stir the waters deep
The dead calm within
See the vast shadow move beneath
The thick veil opening
The unredeeming light reveals
Endless and unforgiving

Behold the swirling depths
Hearken the flutter of insects
Recite the words carved in the flesh

Cover thy ears, broken one
Lest the insects crawl in
Down the rabbit hole of the soul
The fathomless pit deep within

Behold the swirling depths
Hearken the flutter of insects
Recite the words carved in the flesh

Hold thy tongue, faithless one
Lest the forms become flesh
Fangs to gnaw the lambs
To corrupt and possess
