(Don't turn away, don't believe their lies)

I see you, frozen in the firelight.

They call me cursed, a monster made of pain,

But they don't know the truth behind my name.

My gaze, a gift they twisted into fear,

I’m the wronged, and now my justice is clear.

Come closer, darling, don’t be afraid,

My whispers sing through the night like a blade.

You’ll see the beauty they tried to deny,

A reflection of power in the depths of my eyes.

Look into my eyes, see the truth untold,

I’ll turn your heart to stone, but it’s already cold.

You’ll stand immortal, the chosen one,

In my garden of statues, under the sun.

The serpents whisper, secrets they can’t erase,

My venom’s justice, a bittersweet embrace.

They called me vile, they called me insane,

But who are they to judge my pain?

Ignore their warnings, follow my trace,

Feel the pull, the heat, the burning embrace.

You’ll find the truth in the shadowed glow,

Of the love I give and the wrath I show.
