The Serpent Lyrics

Set fire to the throne

No one left to bemoan

Broke mental bones, on savage stones

Words heard by I, alone

Never speak for me

I stopped listening along

And a long, long time ago I

Found your broken mind

Rotting in the rind

The viper glides/crawls beside you

Long fangs sink in sly

Then split tongued, it commands you

To help/save/love it as you die

Blackened sun sudden sets

No heart beats for regrets

Drained endlessly, I came to see

The cycle of your nets

Never promise me

I stopped believing along

And a long, long time ago I

Lost my will to try

To help you to survive

But then, a light returns again

I know just what this is

Another cycle soon begins

A show so insincere

Never again placate my fear

For knowledge

And observance

The sharp edge

Of my defense

What was once well begun

Has no more time to run

Wasted the one, chance I am done

Hope squandered, now it’s none

Never follow me

I stopped leading you along

And a long, long time ago you

Helped me to decide

That ending it is right
