Serpents Are Rising

Ablaze! Beyond we light a fire

I am pregnant now, with serpent power

My child crawls beyond my veins

I break the chains

We're here again

Where rivers once bled

Where life once thred

And where we were chained

The amber knife is held in rightful hand

Left is the altar maimed and struck

By lightning force trust & beckoning nightsky

We are born again and stars die

Where rivers once bled

Where life once thred

And where we were chained

Serpents are rising

Her coiling tongues among the dead

With prayers on fire

That shakes the cause to its foundation

Serpents are rising

Her coiling tongues among the dead

With prayers on fire

That shakes the cause to its foundation

Daggers within us

And eyes within the burial earth

Shackles are broken

Our hands are open to her cause
