Pit Viper

Rankins


In the Cruel Garrison of Affection 
If Worth of Lore Is True 
You Know the Face of a Temptress 
Pit Viper 

A Witch Or Enchantress 
Pit Viper 

With the Malign Venom of Conceit 
She Tries 
Civil Men 
Conceal Fear 
Misgivings 
When Night Entreats Them 
A Greater Chill Sustains 
Stains Her 
Darkness 
Shall Not Inhibit Death Blow 

Know This Skin Does Not Restrict Her 
Tear and Shed the Coil 
Fall of Garland Leaves 
Below the Soil
