constricted by an ophidian i slither away, just to live is this where new life begins? is this where i shed my skin?
bitten by fangs of chagrin where to win is to never forgive hiss with this abyss within i'm living in a pit of sin
with my vision wearing thin venom is a gift to give i slip beneath the rocks again this is where i shed my skin
*a snake loses it's vision or pit sensitivity of it's heat sensing pits before it sheds it's skin...so, it's pretty much blind until it sheds all of it's skin
