Born through alizarin
No choice has been given
By no right am I chained to this place
Time seeps in through every crack
Vision blurs with cataracts
Joints rust as years add
I don't see this curse as a gift
Life seen through reptile eyes
A cold life gaze with no light inside
I don't see this curse as a gift
Life seen through reptile eyes
A cold gaze
If the sun rises again, let it wash over me
Vengeance for this birth(Although I carry poison in my head the antidote can be found in my tail, which I bite with rage)
