The Serpent

Its killing season
Persuasion will determine the outcome
The victim will have bloodied hands
And a snake will make them so
Welcome to hell on earth
Instigated by the lies created
From the mouths of brethren

This time we've lost
But at what cost?
The meaning of trust
Is a broken hymn

The serpent,
Has spoken,
And his will has been done

Is this the end of the world?
Betraying our brothers
To see how far we can rule
Now the time is right,
Theres no turning back
No turning back

So set me free
Of the demon deep inside
The serpent utters every line
That you will speak henceforth
Everything you know has been erased
Replaced by traitorous endeavours
With sounds of twisting tales
Tightening your blindfold

This time we've lost
But at what cost?
For now my voice will cry for change

The serpent,
Has spoken,
And he's in everyone

Is this the end of the world?
Betraying our brothers
To see how far we can rule
Encased in walls
Of greed and control
With serpentine lies on your tongue

I've searched and tried
I'll break away these chains
I will not be consumed
I refuse

Is this the end of the world?
Betraying our brothers
To see how far we can rule
