The Serpent Lives

To watch them laid to waste
Under the full moons glow
To see the serpent unwind
And watch his prey fall
Coming of the dawn
Will see us deceived
Reaching for the end
Burning flesh horrific wreck
A thousand times they wandered
A hundred times warned
Velocity undetermined
Mortality rate a million to one
A captive in a metal cage
The victim alone with his end
