The Viper

Verse 1

He’s stalking his prey through the alleys at night,

A hypnotic rhythm, with a venomous bite,

Children of silence marching into the dark,

Their laughter erased, without leaving a mark.

Pre-Chorus

He slithers in the street, now his venom’s in heat,

It’s pounding in your chest, now you can’t feel your feet,

You’re dragged to the sound, there’s no way to fight back,

Caught up in the coil of the Viper attack!

Chorus

The Viper! — pied piper of pain,

The Viper! — strikes again and again,

The Viper! — his song is the poison, his rhythm the knife,

He drains their breath, he devours their life.

Verse 2

His skin cold and scaly, his tongue flicks the air,

Eyes fixed and endless, there’s no soul in his stare,

His coil wraps tighter, constricting the weak,

A promise of safety to the graveyard he leads.

The pipes are carved from the bones of the lost,

The melody so sweet, but it comes at a cost,

He leads them deeper where no light can stay,

Their voices dissolve in the predator’s sway.

Pre-Chorus

Creeping through the crowd, the silence so loud,

Bite in the dark, the venom’s shroud,

You’re dragged to the sound, there’s no way to fight back,

Caught up in the coil of the Viper attack!

Chorus

The Viper! — pied piper of pain,

The Viper! — strikes again and again,

The Viper! — his song is the poison, his rhythm the knife,

He drains their breath, he devours their life.

Instrumental Break

Chorus — more aggressive

The Viper! — pied piper of pain,

The Viper! — strikes again and again,

The Viper! — his song is the poison, his rhythm the knife,

He drains their breath, he devours their life.

Outro

Follow the sound… follow the song…

Follow the Viper… you won’t last long…

Venom in rhythm, the serpent plays on…

The Piper… The Viper… forever… gone.
