The inn represents a country
A king viper came to family run inn 
filled with pride his eyes pierced the soul darkness 
cold and lonely seeking the warmth within inviting 
begging dressed in the finest silk tailored to the nines 
shoes shined with a dazzling smile summoning friendship 

He had the sweetest manner about him 
politely waltzing words just drooled from the split 
pretending to care looking for charity 

The innkeeper offered him a room gracefully 
when he had declared his nature true
as good unbelievable in the morning awakens 
breakfast was ready for everyone set like a feast 

Dishes where washed afterwards 
charming the company they claimed as family 
he was the perfect host celebrating with him 
lovingly happiness danced for joy 

Until the third day everyone was killed as they slept 
every trick under a sun was deployed emotionally corrupt  
slowly shedding layer after layer of heartbreaking tales
not protecting our shield properly we fall an open target 
in the end we can see burdened choices cross over 
where silver and gold holds the key to open gates
