Snake‑String Serenade

Lyrics

[INTRO] Midnight hiss, the garden's glow, Shadows twist, a secret flow. [VERSE 1] I walked through vines, a silver moon, Eyes on the path where danger looms. A serpent curled in quiet grace, Its scales a mirror, dark embrace. [CHORUS] I pick up a snake and got bit, Feel the sting, the pulse of it. Heat climbs up my arm, a fire, I breathe the night, I feel the wire. [VERSE 2] The bite was quick, a sudden flash, A whispered hiss that filled my stash. The world turned slow, the air did thin, I held my breath, I faced the din. [CHORUS] I pick up a snake and got bit, The venom's song, a trembling wit. I reach for help, yet all I hear, The serpent's tongue, a ghostly leer. [HOOK] Oh, the hiss that tells a tale, A warning wrapped in midnight veil. I know the danger, I know the price, In every bite, a silent dice. [BRIDGE] In the dark, the garden's breath, A lesson born from living death. I learned to pause, to heed the sound, To tread with care, to stay unbound. [CHORUS] I pick up a snake and got bit, The rhythm of my heart does quit. Now I carry scars and songs, The night has written right where it belongs. [OUTRO] The moon fades, the vines unwind, I walk alone, but hope I find. A lesson in the hiss I heard, A story born from a single word.
