She lifts the pipe, he sways
Follow her note, his pulse is rising
Circles she's drawing on skin
Soft turns to iron under her hand
Look where the rhythm leads
Stone stirs alive in the heat of her palm
Snake Charmer, make him rise!
Red tent hums at daybreak
Ropes shake with air, the crowd leans closer
Coins at her ankle flash
Powder and oil bloom as she moves
She meets his eyes, slow fire
Heartbeats count time till his body yields
She lifts the pipe, he sways
Follow her note, his pulse is rising
Circles she's drawing on skin
Soft turns to iron under her hand
Look where the rhythm leads
Stone stirs alive in the heat of her palm
Snake Charmer, make him rise!
Old laughter fades to smoke
Masks in the crowd forget their owners
She won't ask, but does show
Choice is a thread that pulls him in
Her final note, slow fire
Heartbeats go still, then his body yields
She lifts the pipe, he sways
Follow her note, his pulse is rising
Circles she's drawing on skin
Soft turns to iron under her hand
Look where the rhythm leads
Stone stirs alive in the heat of her palm
Snake Charmer, make him rise!
His venom drawn and glistening
