The Scorpion

Tattooed flesh and the scent of death

A pernicious lust for your last breath

She brings both misfortune and pain

Yet you'll invite her in again and again

Where there's a will there's a way

Her heart is dark, you wear the mark, a price that you must pay

All your dreams will turn to disaster

You can chase the dragon, but she always runs faster

She's the scorpion

The betrayer

She's the scorpion

The soothsayer

Haunted like a broken promise

Bitter like a fallen goddess

You look for answers that cannot be found

A twist of fate, a darkness unbound

Centuries of discord and disarray

No talisman can keep her at bay

She sees your future and it's drowning in blood

You bring desire, she'll bring the fire and then the flood

She'll bring the fire

And then the flood

Enchanted by the shadows

Bathing in your lies

The Scorpion

will steal the pennies from your eyes
