Phantom of Your Fangs

I saw the black serpent on your hip The way it slithered and perked to my tones That way it sunk phantom fangs into my loins and bones with- Not a sting; not a yelp; not a sound True assassin with true poison I come back for another charm dance Don't let the charm fool you. Fool for god. God I am a fool. I am not worthy to have you in my home, but only say the word and I shall be healed Fool me once and you can't fool me again. Dark cobra be eaten by staff of wood Charcoal slithery foe become smoke in black fire. Demon return to your home chipping fangs in your gnashing Get behind me and place your head beneath her foot.
