Poisonous Serpent

I agreed to our acquaintance, the lesser of two evils then,
A sole unfortunate conjunction,
Soon there was doubt about the plan, all was doubt about the plan.

Now we're here, facing each other, dear, you're getting near.
I'm everything but ready as you break through the skin
And embrace me from the inside.

I give myself to you entirely to fight a battle is your aim,
Are you my enemy or companion?
The question burns in brightest
Flames, it eats me up like burning flames.

Now we're here, facing each other, dear, it's getting clear.
They say you are a friend of mine, you pay no heed to anything,
I won't invite you one more time.

The serpent – invades your
Consciousness, the serpent – throws you off balance,
The serpent – gives blindness for a
Present, the serpent – deprives you of your will.

A weakness caused by your presence, days free of motive passing me.
But I can feel your forces leaving ...
And then we set each other free, in the end I will be free.

Now we're here, facing each other, dear, an end without fear.
Just a short relation, not many things stay the same,
We'll never know if we'd have made it ...
