Nigrum Ignis Serpentem

Ominous black skies

Sinister clouds threatening to burst

A desire to drink from the well of Hvergelmir

to quench my nefarious thirst

Howling night winds of perdition

an entrance to the womb of the netherworld

A spiritual fire racing up my spine

as an ancient serpent is uncurled

A glimmer of understanding

Through the gate of veiled mystery

A serpentine eye opens in the mist

as shrouded wisdom is revealed

Enter the realm of darkness and death

Final redemption of a soul cloaked in the dark

Guided through the maze of illusions and dismay

Enlightened by the inner black spark

Embraced by black whirlwinds of fire

I am where time is no more

At one with the black fire serpent

Freed from a world I abhor
