Ouroboros

THE ROAD BEYOND PERDITION
IS A STRAIT AND STEADY TRAIL
A TREK ATOP THE TIGHTROPE
TWEEN THE DRAGONS TONGUE AND 
TAIL
WITH RAZORED TIP TO CUT YOU
OR HIS BREATH A FIERY GALE
BEWARE LEST YOU SHOULD FALTER
TWEEN THE DRAGONS TONGUE AND 
TAIL
THE DRAGON GIVES NO WARNING
ITS HIS QUEST THAT YOU SHOULD FAIL
THE BEST HAVE LOST A BIRTHRIGHT
TWEEN THE DRAGONS TONGUE AND 
TAIL
TIS BOLD DETERMINATION
SEES US SAFELY THROUGH THE VAIL
TO WALK THE ROAD OF HOLY GOLD
TWEEN THE DRAGONS TONGUE AND 
TAIL
IF EVER YOU SHOULD FAULTER
SEEK THE ONE WHOS SCARRED BY NAIL
THE FIRST TO STRIDE THE NARROW PATH
TWEEN THE DRAGONS TONGUE AND 
TAIL
THE PRICELESS PRIZE IS GLORY
TO WITH ANGELS SIP THE GRAIL
HAVING TREAD THE FINAL GAUNTLET
TWEEN THE DRAGONS TONGUE AND 
TAIL
AND NOW TO ALL GOOD JOURNEY
ITS MY HOPE THAT YOU PREVAIL
TO HAVE LIVED ALLOWING PASSAGE
TWEEN THE DRAGONS TONGUE AND 
TAIL
