Surrounded by the Serpent
Dance with Darkness: Confronting the Serpent's Embrace
Lyrics
Blacker than the shadows, it appears from overhead
Referring to a dark and ominous presence that is more intense than shadows, visible from above
Watching thee
Someone or something is being observed
Coiled all around the darkened atmosphere
A description of the entity wrapping itself around the dark atmosphere
It will feed
The entity consumes or preys on something
It awaits with upmost patience for the perfect time to strike
It patiently waits for the perfect moment to strike
Slithering
Describing the entity's movement with a snake-like motion
You seek for an escape
The listener is searching for a way out
You're surrounded by the serpent
The listener is surrounded by a serpent, feeling trapped
Shivering
The listener is trembling or shuddering
Reptilian scent overwhelms all your senses
A scent reminiscent of reptiles overwhelms the listener's senses
Dried leaves crunch below its immense writhing form
Describing the physical impact of the serpent, with leaves crunching under its massive form
The hiss paralyzes you with a stunning deep vibration
The serpent's hiss has a paralyzing effect, causing a deep vibration
Try to move
An attempt to move despite the paralysis
Try to flee
An attempt to escape from the serpent's presence
Try to scream
An attempt to scream, possibly for help
You are prey
Confirmation that the listener is prey in this situation
Shimmering scales engulf you in as it wraps around your thighs
Describing the serpent enveloping the listener with shimmering scales
Your clawing nails make not a mark on its blackened armored hide
The listener's attempts to resist the serpent are futile
It crushes the wind from your lungs and you gasp a final breath
The serpent constricts the listener, causing difficulty in breathing
Its swallows you completely and you slide towards certain death
The listener is swallowed whole, facing imminent death
You wriggle for your life in this coffin made of flesh
Describing the struggle for survival within the serpent's body
You fester in it's guts, filled with other half-dead pests
The listener is surrounded by half-dead pests inside the serpent
Your hands move to your belt, to release your pocket knife
Attempting to use a pocket knife to escape from the serpent
A desperate slice from within this beast has saved your cursed life
A desperate act with the pocket knife saves the listener's life
