They Pray With Snakes
In the belly of the beast the place is miles away
In a deep southern town where the devil comes to pray
A choir sings with their eyes sewn shut
By a stream the children playin'
water flowin' with blood
The pastor stands on his pulpit while preachin' the hell
On the hilltop church with demons ringing the bell
They toll twice for the missing and the recently departed
In the pews the congregation sits a 100 days rotted
Suffering is all around us, stinch of death in the air
Nobody seems to notice or nobody seems to care
It's just an everyday life an a normal routine
People walkin' right by but never notice the screams
A backwards philosophy passed down thru the ages
generation of murder written down in these pages
Of a book overlooked and forgotten in history
A place where the secret is surrounded by mystery
I can hear the screaming thru the forest at night
They pray with snakes and they poison my mind
I can hear the screaming through the forest at night
They pray with snakes and they poison my mind
Was it a curse or a sickness that is raised in the minds
Of these sac-religious hillbillies raised with the swine
No remorse in the souls and the heart is pitch black
Thirsty for the blood hound murdered contact
Feasting on the brains of the ones they call sinners'
Cousin Cletus in the kitchen carvin' torsos for dinner
Inna barn, on a meat hook, bodies are hanging
In the cellar by a chain more bodies a' swangin'
And in the field lies a scene of an old parkin lot
Abandoned for so many years cars left to rot
And buried in the garden in a hole dug deep
All the bones and the belongings all piled in a heap
Ungodly sounds of torture echo through the trees
The streets are suffering still blowing in the breeze
Not on any map undiscovered never surveyed
Secrets of a small town kept locked away
I can hear the screaming thru the forest at night
They pray with snakes and they poison my mind
I can hear the screaming through the forest at night
They pray with snakes and they poison my mind
