Title: Pit Viper
Album: Hope Chest: The Fredonia Recordings 1982-1983
Artist: 10,000 Maniacs
Composer(s): Steve Gustafson, Natalie Merchant
Lyric:
In the cruel garrison of affection
If worth of lore is true
You know the face of a temptress
Pit Viper
A witch or enchantress
Pit Viper
With the malign venom of conceit
She tries civil men
Conceal fear misgivings
When night entreats them
A greater chill sustains
Stains her darkness
Shall not inhibit death blow
Know this skin does not restrict her
Tear and shed the coil
Fall of garland leaves below the soil
