The Serpents Tongue

Open your eyes*

In spite of these creations

A venom settles in the blood

With fangs that will not rest til they've engulfed

Everything the sky and humans all alike

Dispersing vile scripture as abundant as the night

This poison takes but a single drop to thrive

The vipers waltz in time to slay the conscience back to blind

Slowly digesting and conspiring with mortal threads

This evil's woven firm its lies into our heads

A single cry will silence all

But a single pierce will bring to fall

Despite all odds we must confront

What our deepest fears have presented us

You've got the truth before you

And yet your eyes are shut

How can you speak

When the serpent's got your tongue

This clarity can't be denied but before us stands the initial face of phases

Our fears will flee our strength will hide

Open your eyes Open your eyes

The serpent goes by many names and wears many a disguise

Open your eyes or let this poison slowly seep and consume you whole

Don't let the serpent catch your tongue and drown your soul

incurable by any means

but tearing the seams from the eyes

to bow down to the King of all mankind

Behold untainted sight

The truth is inscribed in the veins under the eyes

Release from the clutch of the serpentine

to behold untainted sight

You've got the truth before you

and yet your eyes are shut

How can you speak

when the serpent's got your tongue

Open your eyes
