The one who devours time

The past remembered

The present forgotten

The future erased

Transient virtue washed away

These ancient teeth cut the thread

These ancient eyes count the sins

The strangle of the serpent

Coils come to life

These primeval waters drown you

The serpent

Forever dying.

 

The one at the dawn of time

The new beginning

The ever present

The darkened end

Creation renewed

These ancient lips breathe life

And out of the primeval waters you rise

The immortal serpent

Forever alive.
