My thoughts are venom, cold and still Every scale a blade I feel Fangs of iron sink to bone This serpent’s path I walk alone Shed the skin that bears my name The storm inside remains the same Iron Serpent — rise and strike! Crush the world beneath your spike Scales of thunder, eyes of steel Feel the poison — this is real Shadows hiss behind my eyes Truth strikes hard, the liar dies Every scar’s a scale I’ve grown Every tear turns flesh to stone Stone will crack, but never fade Break me down — I’ll rise again! Iron Serpent — rise and strike! Crush the world beneath your spike Scales of thunder, eyes of steel Feel the poison — this is real The serpent never dies… it only sheds.
