Needles pierce hot, red,

Sizzling in flesh. It waits

While its venom burns.

I don’t really know DC, but here’s a quote from one of my favorite bands that feels relevant:

Life is so wonderful

Life is so beautiful

Stay awhile

No one gets out alive

Life is so wonderful

Life is so beautiful

Just smile

No one gets out alive

What is DC? Wash. DC? Snake refers to Snake Plissken from Escape from NY and LA movies.

Serpentine gaze pierces

Stone cold, a living weapon

Basilisk's power

Malevolent eyes

Petrifying all who dare

To meet their stare

King of the reptiles

Deadly glance, a cursed gift

Basilisk reigns supreme

Serpentine gaze locks

Petrifying stare renders

Prey to stone, still life

Mythical, lethal

King of serpents, crowned in dread

Basilisk reigns fear

Deadly glance, venom

Slithering, hissing menace

Basilisk's domain
