Once Bitten, Twice Denied

The first set of lyrics that I've written this year. Also the first to be posted on here.. Yeah..

Once bitten, Twice Denied

 

Verse 1; You had the upper hand,

Momentarily.

But you let down your guard,

And I began to coil.

Then I struck you to the floor,

Single-handedly.

You can’t escape my wrath,

With me you cannot toil;

 

Chorus; Because I am the Viper.

Instability’s my middle name.

Once bitten, Twice denied,

I’m the only thing that you can’t tame. (You can't tame)

You’re not the only one who’s tried,

Once bitten, Twice denied.

 

Verse 2; Bleeding on the floor,

Annihilation.

There’s no chance you’ll survive,

The poison’s seeping in.

All hope for you is lost,

Condemnation.

Nowhere else for you to go,

Your time in hell will soon begin.

 

Chorus; You know I am the Viper.

Instability’s my middle name.

Once bitten, Twice denied,

I’m the only thing that you can’t tame. (You cannot tame)

You’re not the only one who’s tried,

Once bitten, Twice denied. x2

 

Bridge; Your life is at an end,

I hope you comprehend;

The devil has your number.

My fangs are in too deep,

It’s not long before you leap;

Into a never-ending slumber.

 

Verse 3; You had the upper hand,

Momentarily.

But you let down your guard,

And I began to coil.

Then I struck you to the floor,

Single-handedly.

I am the viper,

You know I am the viper.

 

Chorus; You know I am the Viper.

Instability’s my middle name.

Once bitten, Twice denied,

I’m the only thing that you can’t tame. (YOU CAN'T TAME!!)

You’re not the only one who’s tried,

Once bitten, Twice denied.

ONCE BITTEN, TWICE DENIED!! x2

 

Outro; I am the viper (I am),

I stand alone (I stand).

I am the viper (I am),

I have no home (I have).
