Serpents slither

Hissing hymns

Of tempting truths

Seductive spirits

Wait for winnings

For their reward

For what they've done.

Betrayed their own

For something more

For something nothing can buy.

They told their kin

Told their friends

To walk off the path

And they led them astray

Off the lit up pathway

Pushed them into darkness

Made them take their first bites

Forced them to swallow their last

Forbidden fruit has never been this sweet.
